After a drama-filled season in Pittsburgh, it appears that Antonio Brown has finally had enough with the Steelers.

CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora has reported that Brown has requested to be traded from the team. According to La Canfora, a big reason Brown wants to leave is because he’s having issues with coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

The tension between Brown and Roethlisberger boiled over last week when the two players got into a heated dispute before a practice. The dispute was so serious that it caused Brown to skip practice for the rest of the week and to sit out the team’s season finale against the Bengals on Sunday. Although Roethlisberger downplayed the incident on Tuesday, he did admit that Brown won’t return his calls or texts.

Now, does of all this mean that Brown is going to be traded? Not necessarily.

The biggest obstacle standing between the Steelers and a potential Brown trade is his contract. If the Brown were to be sent to another team, the Steelers would have to eat R302,58 million  in dead cap space for 2019. La Canfora has also noted that it’s unlikely that the Steelers owners would be willing to part ways with Brown.
