After the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers’ trade talks for wide receiver Antonio Brown broke down, several reports surfaced that the wideout nixed the trade and didn’t want to come to his potential new team.

A new report says the opposite now.

According to the Buffalo News, the Bills were confident the 30-year-old receiver would have joined the team if the trade was completed. The BN reports that the Bills believed “Brown would have happily joined (the Bills).”

But the trade was not completed. Per the report, the Bills were discussing the financial aspects of a potential contract with Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, but had not spoken to Brown personally.

Brown has said on the record he wants a fully-guaranteed contract and likely wanted to be the league’s highest-paid receiver. Odell Beckham Jr. from the New York Giants currently holds that honor after signing a five-year, $95 million deal in Brown is currently under a contract that has three years and approximately $39 million left on it.

While discussing the potential terms, news broke that the Bills and Steelers had a trade in place and it was “close” to being completed. Once word got out, Bills general manager Brandon Beane released a statement saying the Bills “moved on” from the deal.

It’s tough to imagine a scenario where the full story behind the trade talks would be discovered. The only way to truly find out the right answers behind everything is likely from the four-time All-Pro wide receiver himself.

While Brown does speak his mind, whether it’s with the media or on an NFL sideline, that seems unlikely to happen.
