Won't play during preseason
Coach Jon Gruden doesn't plan to play Brown during the preseason, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Gruden may have just set a league record for the earliest a coach has ever commented on his plans for August exhibition games. It's a non-concern in terms of team chemistry, as Brown has plenty of time to build a rapport with Derek Carr throughout the offseason program and training camp. The veteran wideout seems to be headed for massive volume in an Oakland offense that lacks a proven pass catcher at tight end or a clear choice for the No. 3 receiver job. Carr will rely on Brown and fellow…read more

Getting to work with Carr
As of Thursday, Brown has worked out with Derek Carr for three consecutive days, Matt Schneidman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Since the new league year started Wednesday, the trade of Brown from Pittsburgh to Oakland became official, and with it a restructured three-year contract for the four-time first-team All-Pro. He hasn't wasted any time building up his rapport with Carr, who is exchanging the likes of Jordy Nelson (released Thursday) and Jared Cook for Brown and Tyrell Williams (signed Wednesday). Brown has received at least 150 targets in six consecutive campaigns, a span in which he's averaged 119 catches (on…read more

Heading to Oakland
The Raiders have an agreement in place to acquire Brown from the Steelers in exchange for a 2019 third-round pick and 2019 fifth-round pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Brown revealed the news via Twitter as he posted a picture of himself in a Raiders uniform shortly before the news broke. The 30-year-old and Oakland are apparently agreeing to a re-worked contract that would make him the highest-paid wide receiver in the league. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Brown will receive $50.125 million over three years in the new deal, including over $30 million guaranteed. The All-Pro wideout's previous contract with the Steelers ran through the 2021 season, but…read more

Not going to Buffalo
Bills general manager Brandon Beane said he won't trade for Brown and has moved on to focus on free agency.
Analysis: Beane admits he had discussions with the Steelers on Tuesday, but he seems to have given up on the idea of a trade -- possibly because of concerns Brown wouldn't agree to play for Buffalo. A report earlier this week suggested the Steelers expect to complete a deal by Friday, though the more sensible deadline would be March 17 when the 30-year-old wideout is due a $2.5 million roster bonus. The list of remaining suitors presumably includes Oakland and Tennessee, with a few other teams also…read more

Refutes trade news
While Ian Rapoport of NFL Network stated late Thursday that the Bills are close to acquiring Brown from the Steelers, the player is calling it "fake news" and another league source is calling the deal unlikely, The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: The Steelers would seem to have a lot more say in Brown's final destination than the disgruntled player, so we'll still give Rapoport -- always a reliable source -- credence while acknowledging there's no completed deal yet. We'll know more as soon as Friday, while we'll note the Bills have all kinds of cap room and need an offensive stud perhaps more than any team in the league. At bare minimum, it's become clear the Steelers' initial high price for Brown has come down and Bills general…read more

Trade to Bills imminent
The Steelers are drawing close to a deal that will send Brown to the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The specifics of the trade have yet to be reported, but it appears as though sophomore quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills offense will have a new No. 1 receiving threat in 2019. The Steelers were ultimately unable to ship Brown out of the AFC, but they were able to avoid sending him to a divisional foe.

Should be traded soon
The Steelers expect to trade Brown by Friday, league sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Analysis: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that three new teams have entered the bidding, while a pair of early suitors -- the Jets and Cardinals -- have bowed out. Oakland is consistently mentioned in talks pertaining to Brown, with Tennessee, Washington and New Orleans also reported to have some level of interest. The Steelers prefer to trade Brown to the NFC, or at least to an AFC team that doesn't profile as a major threat to make a deep playoff run. Other possible fits include San Francisco and…read more

Not lacking for suitors
Brown is drawing interest from at least six teams, with the Cardinals and Broncos recently joining the Raiders, Saints, Titans and Redskins in pursuit of the 30-year-old wideout, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Analysis: Brown probably isn't too thrilled with the list, considering New Orleans is the only suitor with a high-caliber quarterback or a 2018 playoff appearance to its name. Of course, the four-time All-Pro would make a big difference for any of those other franchises, and he'd probably draw more targets on a team that doesn't have Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara. Given the wealth of interest, Pittsburgh shouldn't have any trouble finding a strong offer before Brown is due a $2.5 million roster bonus…read more

Not getting interest from 49ers yet
Niners GM John Lynch said he hasn't spoken with the Steelers about trading for Brown, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: San Francisco has drawn the most buzz as a possible destination, in part due to Brown's late-January Instagram post that shows him photoshopped into a 49ers' uniform. It's also a fit in terms of positional need and cap space, with the added benefit from Pittsburgh's perspective of moving Brown out of the AFC. Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said he's now heard from more than three teams with interest in a trade, but he maintains no deal will be made unless the Steelers receive an…read more

Already drawing interest
General manager Kevin Colbert said three teams have contacted the Steelers to discuss the possibility of trading for Brown, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: His comments may be accurate, but it's also clear Colbert is trying to help the team maintain leverage in an awkward situation. He acknowledged Wednesday that all parties agree a trade would be best, but then went out of his way to make it known the Steelers are willing to keep Brown if the offers disappoint. It shouldn't ultimately make much difference, with Brown's talent and production likely outweighing his difficult personality in the eyes of at least two or three teams. Once they have a…read more

Won't come cheap in trade
Steelers general manger Kevin Colbert said Wednesday that he'll try to trade Brown this offseason but won't make a deal if the offers from interested parties are unsatisfactory, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Between his age, recent antics and presumed desire for a new contract, Brown essentially has made it impossible for the Steelers to receive comparable on-field value in a trade. The team should still be able to acquire at least one early draft pick or a quality player in exchange, with the option of refusing all suitors if the offers are poor. Brown would then be left in a tricky situation, forced to choose between sitting out the 2019 season (with no pay) or awkwardly playing in Pittsburgh…read more

Still wants trade after meeting
Brown tweeted Tuesday about his meeting with Steelers owner Art Rooney II, saying they've cleared the air on several issues but both agree it's time for a parting of ways.
Analysis: Brown is mending fences in the sense that he doesn't want to leave Pittsburgh on a sour note, yet his words leave little doubt the trade request remains in place. The tweet also implies the Steelers intend to honor that request, though they'll surely expect a considerable return in exchange for one of the best wide receivers in NFL history. The situation could become a bit more complicated if Brown expects his next team to adjust his contract, which has three seasons and approximately $39…read more

Agrees to meet with Rooney
Brown had a change of heart and now plans to meet with Steelers owner Art Rooney II, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: This doesn't mean Brown has withdrawn his trade request, but it does give the Steelers one last opportunity to see if there is any way to mend the relationship. For all the frustration with his antics, the team can't be too happy about the prospect of taking a $21.12 million dead cap charge in 2019 if Brown is traded. There's also some question about what the Steelers would receive in a trade, as Brown's odd behavior and possible desire for a new contract will probably scare most teams away.…read more

Saying goodbye to Pittsburgh fans
Brown posted a tweet Tuesday thanking Steelers fans and saying it's "time to move on and forward."
Analysis: It's been three weeks since Brown dropped a hint on Instagram that he'd be interested in joining the 49ers, and he's now leaving minimal room for interpretation about his desire to be traded or released -- with Adam Schefter of ESPN reporting the 30-year-old has officially requested a trade. An outright release presumably isn't a real option for the Steelers, as Brown has already been handsomely paid in the form of signing and roster bonuses, leaving him with three years and approximately $39…read more

Hints at desire for new team
Brown said Thursday that he just wants to win and doesn't care where that happens, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brown may still be open to a reconciliation with the Steelers, but he doesn't seem to be doing much to make it happen, instead adding fuel to the fire with an Instagram post that shows him hugging Jerry Rice while photoshopped into a 49ers uniform. Multiple teammates have spoken out in favor of Brown staying in Pittsburgh, and Steelers owner Art Rooney recently said he'd be willing to sit down with the star wideout to hear his side of the story, per Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.…read more

Could stay or be traded
The Steelers are exploring trade options, but neither team nor player has shut the door on the possibility of Brown staying in Pittsburgh for 2019, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Any report of this nature needs to be taken with a grain of salt, as the Steelers have a clear incentive to create the perception they may keep Brown, hoping to maximize leverage in trade negotiations with other organizations. That being said, the two parties do have plenty of time discuss what's gone wrong in the relationship, assuming Brown eventually resumes contact with the team. Pittsburgh ideally would like to find a solution before March 17, the date when Brown is due a $2.5 million…read more

Could stay in Pittsburgh
Team owner Art Rooney II said Wednesday that the Steelers are "not closing any doors" on Brown's future with the franchise, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Rooney's comments amount to a slight change in his stance from a week earlier, when he said it was "hard to envision" the wideout remaining with the team in 2019. That said, Rooney expressed his disappointment that Brown and the team haven't been in contact since the end of the season, adding fuel to the notion that a parting of ways may be in the offing. While Fowler's report notes that the Steelers have yet to explore any trade discussions regarding Brown, Rooney acknowledged "there aren't…read more

Future with team uncertain
Though Steelers president Art Rooney II noted that the team does not plan to release Brown, he relayed Thursday that "all other options are on the table," Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette reports.
Analysis: With Pittsburgh's star receiver having "skipped out on practices and team meetings" in advance of the team's season finale, it's now quite conceivable that Brown could be traded this offseason. There's still time for the two sides to patch things up, but at this stage Rooney admits that it would be "hard to envision" the wideout being with the Steelers at the start of training camp in July.

Team likely to hear trade offers
The Steelers are expected to consider trade inquiries about Brown (knee) from other teams this offseason, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: The news isn't especially surprising after coach Mike Tomlin acknowledged Wednesday that he hasn't spoken with Brown since he was made inactive ahead of the Steelers' season finale against the Bengals over the weekend. While Brown was listed as unavailable due to a knee issue, earlier reports suggested that the inactive status may have been attributed to the wideout getting in a confrontation with a teammate Dec. 26 and subsequently skipping all other team activities prior to gameday.

Not communicating with team
Coach Mike Tomlin said Wednesday that Brown (knee) was held out of Sunday's 16-13 win over the Bengals due to a combination of injury and lack of communication with the team, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
Analysis: Brown had permission to miss practices Thursday and Friday with the expectation he would get an MRI on his knee and show up for a Saturday walk-through. He didn't do either of those things, instead waiting until Sunday to have agent Drew Rosenhaus inform the team that the wide receiver was ready to play, per Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. At that point, the Steelers had understandably become frustrated with the lack of communication and told Brown he couldn't play in the game.…read more

May not have requested trade
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Brown hasn't actually requested a trade.
Analysis: The most recent report suggests Brown made some angry comments last Wednesday but hasn't actually taken the step of having his agent request a trade. He didn't play in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Bengals, with multiple sources suggesting his absence was the product of a disagreement rather than a knee injury. It seems the issue may have started with Brown becoming angry at quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who said Tuesday on the radio that he views the 30-year-old wideout as a friend and hopes…read more

Analysis: Brown was listed on the Week 17 injury report as "knee/coach's decision," with multiple reports after the fact suggesting his absence from a 16-13 win over Cincinnati wasn't related to any injury. It now appears the superstar wide receiver is frustrated with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who said Tuesday that he views Brown as a friend and wants him back with the Steelers in 2019, per ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.

May have been fine to play
Brown's absence from Sunday's 16-13 win over the Bengals may have been the result of a dispute with members of the organization rather than the knee injury that had been the cited reason for his inactive status, Gerry Dulac and Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette report.
Analysis: The report cites several unnamed sources who said the decision had nothing to do with a knee issue that was listed on the Week 17 injury report. Brown reportedly had a confrontation with an unnamed teammate Wednesday, then skipped out on team activities for the rest of the week. Coach Mike Tomlin referred to the superstar wideout as a game-time decision, and yet nobody ever saw Brown test out his knee before he was listed as inactive. This is the kind of situation that typically would lead to a…read more

Sits out season finale
Brown (knee) was inactive for Pittsburgh's 16-13 win over Cincinnati in Week 17, finished the 2018 season with 104 catches (on 168 targets) for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns in 15 games.
Analysis: Brown scored in all but three games and exceeded 100 receptions and 1,200 yards for a sixth consecutive season. However, after leading the Steelers in receptions and receiving yards for each of the past five seasons, he yielded that distinction to JuJu Smith-Schuster, who finished with 111 receptions for 1,426 yards. Brown has three years remaining on his current contract, and with Smith-Schuster and James Conner each under contract for two more seasons, the Pittsburgh offense should continue…read more

Holding out hope to play
Brown (knee) is taking part in a pregame warmup and remains hopeful to play Sunday against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After Brown failed to practice Saturday, the Steelers labeled the wideout as a game-time decision for Week 17, but there didn't seem to be much optimism about his chances of suiting up. According to Rapoport, Brown is "doing everything he can to play," but it's unclear if his activity early Sunday will be enough to earn him an active status in advance of the 4:25 p.m. EST kickoff. A call on Brown's availability looks destined to come down to the wire, with clarity on the matter potentially not…read more

Status trending down for Week 17
Brown (knee) was unable to practice Saturday and is being viewed as a game-time decision Sunday against the Bengals, but the Steelers aren't optimistic about the wideout's chances of playing, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Though he turned in a huge game against the Saints last week (14 receptions for 185 yards and two scores), Brown's knee apparently didn't respond well to playing on turf. He's battling soreness in the knee that prevented him from logging any reps Wednesday through Saturday, a troubling development with the Steelers' playoff hopes hanging in the balance. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Steelers will re-evaluate Brown during a pregame warmup early Sunday before reaching a decision on his…read more

Listed as questionable for finale
Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals after not practicing all week.
Analysis: Brown missed practice once again Friday due to his knee issue, but a player of his stature doesn't necessarily need to practice in order to play. "I gave him a vet day on Wednesday," coach Mike Tomlin noted Friday. "He got in here yesterday and didn't feel comfortable enough to do it. We sent him for tests today. We'll get the results of those tests and have more information. He is a veteran player. If he gets better, not a lot of physical repetitions needed to perform. We'll see where all of…read more

Brown is slated to undergo tests to help determine the cause of his knee discomfort, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per the report, coach Mike Tomlin is leaving the door open for Brown to possibly play Sunday against the Bengals, but that's hardly a lock at this point. Added clarity on the wideout's status should arrive no later than the release of the Steelers' final Week 17 injury report, due to be released Friday afternoon.

Dealing with sore knee
Brown missed Thursday's practice due to a knee issue, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports.
Analysis: Brown also missed Wednesday's practice with what appeared to be a routine "coach's decision" designation. Friday's session will thus be very telling with regard to Brown's status for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Per Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network, two of Brown's teammates relayed Thursday that they expect Pittsburgh's star wideout, who is dealing with a sore knee, to be a go this weekend. The Steelers need both a win and Baltimore loss in Week 17 to qualify for the playoffs.

Monstrous outing against Saints
Brown corralled 14 of 19 targets, putting up 185 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 31-28 loss to New Orleans.
Analysis: Brown entered Sunday's matchup against the Saints seeking vengeance, having failed to exceed 50 yards in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 4-6 of the 2015 season. The Steelers' superstar wideout enjoyed a sterling performance across the board, setting season highs in targets (19), catches (14) and yards (185), while recording his third multi-touchdown outing of the year. Brown finds himself in the midst of what very well might be his fifth 1,400-yard season since 2013, ranking…read more

Finds end zone in key win
Brown brought in four of seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' 17-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: Brown's numbers were certainly on the underwhelming side in terms of receptions and receiving yardage for the second straight week, but he salvaged the day to an extent for fantasy owners deploying him in their postseason matchups with a 17-yard scoring grab in the second quarter that snapped a 7-7 tie. Brown also drew plenty of defensive attention as usual, allowing plenty of other Pittsburgh pass catchers to be successfully targeted by Ben Roethlisberger. Brown has now uncharacteristically…read more

Held in check during loss
Brown brought in five of seven targets for 35 yards in the Steelers' 24-21 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: Brown was clamped down on in a what was a surprisingly impressive effort by the Raiders secondary. The veteran speedster's yardage total was a season low, while his reception tally equaled his fewest in any game. Brown also saw single-digit targets for the first time in four games in what was a significantly underwhelming performance. He'll look to bounce back against the Patriots in a pivotal Week 15 showdown.

Season-high receiving yards in loss
Brown caught 10 of 13 targets for 154 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Brown caught two passes on the opening drive including a 46-yard reception that set up the first of two 1-yard touchdown runs by James Conner. Brown scored his team-leading 12th touchdown with 17 seconds remaining in the first half to give Pittsburgh a 23-7 lead and the 154 receiving yards was his best in a game this season. He'll next face Oakland, and in his last game against the Raiders, Brown set his single-game highs in receptions (17), targets (23) and receiving yards (284).

Nine catches in loss at Denver
Brown hauled in nine of 12 targets, racking up 67 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Pittsburgh's all-world receiver has five or more catches in every single game this season, joining Julio Jones as the NFL's only wideouts to have maintained such a streak through Week 12. Brown has been a volume monster all season (entered Sunday ranked seventh in the NFL with 9.9 targets per game), and his output has reflected accordingly. He's finished top-12 in receiving yardage four times over his past seven appearances. What's more, the foundation of Brown's massive fantasy production in…read more

Sparks comeback with 78-yard score
Brown caught five of 13 targets for 117 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Brown and the Steelers offense were frustrated by a talented Jacksonville secondary for most of the afternoon, but the star wide receiver got free for a 78-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. That play sparked an unlikely comeback, which saw Pittsburgh score 20 unanswered points in the final 16:17. With 11 touchdowns this season -- including at least one in each of the past eight games -- Brown's showing why he's routinely in the conversation for best wide receiver in the game. He'll face…read more

Finds end zone again in Week 10 win
Brown brought in all six of his targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' 52-21 win over the Panthers on Thursday.
Analysis: Brown paced the Steelers in both receptions and receiving yardage while also getting into the end zone for the seventh consecutive game. The 30-year-old has nine of his 10 scores on the season over that span, and he's caught no fewer than five passes in any contest this season. While Brown's overall target volume is slightly down (10.6 per game, as compared to 11.6 per contest last season), he's still on pace for a sixth straight 100-reception campaign. He'll look to continue building up his…read more

Cited for speeding charge
Brown was cited by police Thursday in Ross Township, Pa. and charged with reckless driving, Channel 11 News Pittsburgh reports.
Analysis: According to the report, Brown was traveling in excess of 100 miles per hour before being pulled over by police. A Steelers spokesman relayed that the team is aware of the incident, but it likely won't impact Brown's availability for the Thursday night game against the Panthers. Though Brown's 11.6 yards per catch average is his lowest mark since 2010, the wideout has reached the end zone nine times through the Steelers' eight games, putting him on pace to surpass the career-high 13 touchdowns…read more

Touchdown streak at six games
Brown caught five of 11 targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Brown stretched his touchdown streak to six games with a six-yard score in the second quarter. He's operated below his lofty usual standards with only two triple-digit yardage performances thus far this season, but Brown's made up for that lack of yardage with nine touchdowns. Brown and the Steelers will have a quick turnaround with the Panthers coming to town Thursday in Week 10.
