Martavis trade possibility

[ericanadian]

Seems part of the headache from Bryant last year was generated by his usage in the offense. Perhaps with a new offensive coordinator, that will no longer be a problem.

I fully expect the Steelers to trade him. They have enough other guys (Juju, Eli Rogers) who can produce. NO need to keep a bad apple on the squad.

The Steelers had Rogers pegged as their WR4 for a reason and he just had ACL surgery after the season. I think they are gonna keep Bryant for the year.

Yep, and as others have pointed out he will be cheap to keep.
Would love to see him on the Colts with a healthy Luck though

[gunzwil guinea pigs]

Steelers will not trade him. they do not have the depth to do so. they did not take juju in the 2nd because they felt they had overwhelming WR depth. If they draft another rookie who seems he can play right away they might entertain it but as the team is currently constructed they do not have the depth to be able to ship him off (his value prob aint too high either with the complaining and down year of usage)

this, no idea why so many rumors are in the air

Because it's the off season, and speculating about wild trades, free agent moves and rookies is basically what we do with our time!

[Pullo Vision]

Dismissing a trade idea because of a roster's current construction, when free agency and the draft haven't even played out, is ridiculous. Bryant fills a role, but if Juju can step in, and they bring in another WR to attack downfield, clearing the locker room of him makes sense.

^ agree. But wonder if Bryant is cheap insurance. Let him play out his contract and then franchise and trade,

[Friction]

Bills tried trading for him last year. I could see them making an offer again.

If they cut Tyrod, I would be sad if he ended up there. This would be one of my least favored landing spots for him, although being #1 there is probably better than #3 in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers are still "quietly listening to offers" for MB.

[ebsteelers]

They've had success with mid to late round wrs. So it could be possible, but not sure what expected return would be?

The steelers do not have a 4th or 6th round pick. but 2 in the 5th and 2 in the 7th.

[BigBawseRoss]

I'm not sure what MB would do on a different team, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Steelers try to trade him for some value/picks and as a JuJu owner it only cements him being the #2 option there

Would make sense for the Steelers to move him. He's been a headache, still has good enough value, and they have his replacement all lined up and already producing when given the shot last year. Hope they do

Agree. The only thing I think holding them back from activity shopping him is that he's still on his rookie contract and is cheap. But assuming things don't change much for him in 2018, he'll be the #3 WR, the #4 in targets (Brown, Bell, Juju, Bryant), so they know can't afford to pay him a new contract for that kind of role (especially if they pay Bell). So I think they are weighing the cost of one year of cheap production and losing him with no compensation in free agency in 2019 versus losing out on that production but getting something for him. I think any team that wants him is going to have to overpay to get him.

the only thing stopping them from trading him is the fact they have a championship caliber team and hes a really good player...fantasy football hopes and dreams don't matter to the steelers

Don't yall think the offense is going to look different this year with a new coordinator? Roles, responsibilities, schemes, can all easily change. Wouldn't count on the same numbers from AB or Bell this year

[turcorox911]

I'd take him on the Cowboys.

I wonder if they'd take bout tree fiddy for him.
