Ian Rapoport reported that NFL executives believe the Pittsburgh Steelers could fetch a second-round pick or a second rounder paired with a lower selection for disgruntled wide receiver Antonio Brown.
Don't tell that to the Steelers.
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports that Pittsburgh is seeking a first-round selection in exchange for Brown with expectations that trade talks will begin at the NFL Scouting Combine.
La Canfora writes, "With owner Art Rooney II declaring he was prepared to move disgruntled receiver Antonio Brown, the Steelers front office is beginning initial preparation into a potential blockbuster trade, sources said, one that team officials anticipate includes a first-round pick."
La Canfora states that the Steelers expect a robust market of teams interested in Brown, potentially including the Seattle Seahawks, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, and Philadelphia Eagles.
"Team sources said that while they expect the Ravens, Browns, and Patriots to have significant interest in Brown as well, there is virtually no chance they would deal him to such a rival," continues La Canfora.
H/t to Patrick Tulini for the find.
