Antonio Brown Trade Rumors: WR Asks for Deal Amid Feud with Ben Roethlisberger

Pittsburgh Steelers star Antonio Brown has reportedly requested a trade, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.

The receiver reportedly "has issues with Mike Tomlin and Ben Roethlisberger," which could create an urgency to leave town.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network later reported Brown has not made an official trade request, but did yell that he was "done" as he exited the practice field last week. However, Rapoport noted that Brown was "more venting in anger than anything."

La Canfora previously reported Brown and Roethlisberger had an altercation last week that caused the receiver to be benched for the Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Gerry Dulac and Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported he sat out practice during the week, which led to his being inactive for the season finale.

However, Roethlisberger denied any confrontation Tuesday on 93.7 The Fan.

"If there was a blowout, I certainly didn't see it," the quarterback said, via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

Brown also fueled trade speculation early Tuesday morning with a tweet toward San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle:

Despite his apparent interest in a move, La Canfora noted that owner Art Rooney is unlikely to agree to a trade for the All-Pro player.

Bill Barnwell of ESPN also explained why a deal is unlikely based on his contract:

Still, it's clear things aren't going well for the Steelers, who missed the playoffs for the first time in five years this season.
