INDIANAPOLIS — Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert doesn’t rule out trading Antonio Brown to the Browns, or anyone in the AFC North.

“We haven’t eliminated anybody,’’ he said during his podium interview at the NFL combine Wednesday, adding that he’d need premium compensation to trade Brown within the division.

“Ideally you want to trade him to somebody you’ll never play but you can’t do that, because if you’re good enough to get to the Super Bowl, you have to play him anyway," he said. "The less you would play him, the better, but if a team comes through with the best compensation, we have to balance that out. OK, we’re going to play him, twice a year, but we’re going to get the best compensation, so it’s our job to do the better job with the compensation and you have to weigh that all into the discussion.’’

Colbert, who said recently that three teams have inquired, but “interest has grown and it will continue to go one way or another because as we’re here at the combine. We’re learning about alternatives to your current team. ... You may come away feeling better; you may feel worse. But the one thing that doesn’t change is Antonio Brown’s value not only to us but to anybody else in the National Football League … (trade possibilities) will be more clear at the end of this week.’’

It’s not yet known if the Browns have inquired about their longtime Steelers’ nemesis or if they will, but coach Freddie Kitchens said Wednesday he doesn’t feel pressured to make a big splash on a wideout. Furthermore, he hopes the Browns can extend pending free agent Breshad Perriman.

"I don’t need a big-name, star-type anything to power anything,'' said Kitchens. "We need somebody that’s a good football player, that it’s important to him to be a good football player and in every aspect of his life and his career, in all areas it’s important for him to succeed, and that’s how you get a better team. But as far as a big name, I’m not a big name. But anyway.''

As for the other big-name receiver that’s been rumored to be available this offseason, Odell Beckham Jr., Giants GM Dave Gettleman threw water on it at the combine.

“We didn’t sign Odell (Beckham) to trade him,'' he said. "That’s all I need to say about that.'”
