According to Breer, Brown has still not personally spoken to anyone from the Steelers front office or coaching staff since the final week of the regular season. Breer does say that Brown's agent Drew Rosenhaus has been talking with team officials.
Meanwhile, Breer reports that the Steelers are not listening to trade offers from any team in the AFC North, or the New England Patriots. Pittsburgh is willing to listen to the 27 other teams in the league.
The report also says the Steelers trading Brown is not guaranteed, as the trade market value may be too low for the Steelers to give the receiver up.
Additionally, Brown's agent has submitted multiple requests for a trade from the team, the most recent example was the good-bye sendoff to Steelers fans earlier in the week.
