GREEN BAY -- The NFL has a lot of great wide receivers, but arguably the most-talented one has just requested a trade from his team.
Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers has requested a trade, according to Adam Schefter.
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.

What would it take to pair Aaron Rodgers, arguably the league's most talented QB, with Brown? The answer is a lot.
Going into next season, the Packers have just under $40 million in cap space and have draft picks in every round, including two firsts.
Brown is owed a base salary of $12.6 million, a roster bonus of $2.5 million and will carry a cap hit of $22.1 million in 2019. He is under contract until the 2022 season.
The Steelers have not expressed any interest in moving the future Hall-of-Famer, but that could change in the coming weeks.
If the Packers wanted to add Brown, they would.
