Antonio Brown may be finished in Pittsburgh.
According to Adam Schefter, Brown requested a trade from the Steelers on Tuesday.
Brown took to Twitter to post a farewell message to the city of Pittsburgh.
Brown has spent his entire nine year NFL career with the Steelers. In that time he has amassed 837 receptions for 11,207 yards and 74 touchdowns making him one of the most prolific receivers of all time. Despite this, the team has not won a Super Bowl during this time.
Continuing tension has arose between the team and Brown. Brown missed meetings during the last week of the season and didn't play in Week 17. There have also been issues between Brown and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
While the Steelers haven't said they will trade Brown they have made preparations for that scenario and could garner as much as a first round draft pick for the talented receiver.
