Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports Antonio Brown has requested a trade from the Steelers. (Jason La Canfora on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

La Canfora adds that Brown is not demanding a trade, but is in fact requesting one. The 30-year-old was benched for Week 17 after not showing up to practices late in the week. He reportedly had a major blowup with Ben Roethlisberger and even threw a football at him. It's unclear if the Steelers would actually trade their star wideout. This will definitely be an off-season storyline worth following.
