Antonio Brown tweets ‘time to move on,’ requests trade from Pittsburgh Steelers

The drama surrounding Antonio Brown and his love-hate relationship with Pittsburgh Steelers management took another turn on Tuesday.

And the All-World WR made it clear his future lies outside the Steel City:

Thank you SteelerNation for a big 9 years…time to move on and forward……….✌🏽 #NewDemands pic.twitter.com/fbIoFNdqK4

Adam Schefter of ESPN added this spice: Brown has requested a trade.

Antonio Brown has not been traded nor has he been released. But Brown wants a trade and he officially has requested that from the Steelers, per source.

Some more intel on what the Steelers and Brown are dealing with in the future.

Antonio Brown trade reminders:
* He's due a $2.5M roster bonus on March 17th
* If traded before 3/17, the Steelers would absorb a dead cap hit of $21.12M, $23.62M if after 3/17
* Brown is due $12.625M in 2019, $11.3M in 2020, $12.5M in 2021
* Brown turns 31 on July 10

Will be intriguing to see where he lands. The Steelers are also faced with losing their great RB Le’Veon Bell, who held out in 2018.

Brown was also in the news earlier for being a no-show at court for his trial after being busted for speeding at more than 100 mph.
