So....what's he unhappy about? Is the process taking too long? Did he not get enough targets to appease his fantasy followers? IDEA Martavis...try blocking for once.
Trade him then. He's a "me first" player. He dogs it too much. I'd rather see Ju Ju at #2.
“I believe the game is designed to reward the ones who hit the hardest. If you can't take it, you shouldn't play!” - Jack Lambert
This is the same guy that had Ben requesting a trade in 2013 and 2014.
Guess what Martavis - Steelers will not trade you because with your suspension history and mediocre play this season there is a real question how good you still are after missing a full season and they are not trading you for a #6 pick
Play your ass off and get a big contract from anyone who signs you as a FA after 2018 if they want to risk $$$ on someone who is out of the league for good with their next positive or missed test
Until then go out to dinner and bitch with Eli Rogers about how unfair the NFL is
The JuJu pick keeps looking better and better - maybe Colbert has some clue what he is doing
From SD at the bottom, I believe this is Bryants girlfriend, the young lady who just bore him his son a few months back.

Ordinarily I'd be like, this is a questionable story, where is this clown getting his information ... but it's Bryant, so really anything could be possible.
See you Space Cowboy ...
Who cares? Bryant is under contract until 2019 so it doesn't really matter what he wants or doesn't want.
We just beat the best team in the league at their stadium. And this Jabroni wants to request a trade?!
That was my line of thinking as well. Who knows, Rappaport's source might be the girlfriend?!
Anything is possible with any of these guys. But he is cheap, under contract, and talented (in theory) so unless he starts setting fires at the facility or gets stoned again - he isn't going anywhere until the off-season.
At least that is my guess. I've been wrong before and we could wake up tomorrow and Colbert could have him on a plane to the Giants for a bag of kicking tees.
if this whole spiel is for real, itll leave an interesting predicament for the steelers receiving corp. AB is our Z receiver, but obviously he can play anywhere. Eli Rogers is a pure Z (slot) receiver. Juju is probably best suited as a slot receiver, and his increasing percentage of snaps towards the slot shows that the coaching staff like him there. Juju can definitely however, play in other spots. That leaves us with Justin Hunter, who is pretty much a pure X receiver and the only one left on the roster if Martavis is gone.
Do we really want to see Justin on the field?
Trade him to Miami for Julius Thomas. We could use a play making TE
With the giants down their top 3 receivers maybe we could get lucky and see them throw the house at us for Bryant? But Bryant has so many question marks and the Giants have essentially thrown away their season anyway so there seems to be little incentive for them to do so at this point

They already have Jarvis Landry, Kenny Stills, and Devante Parker. Doesnt seem to make sense
I'll take the rumor with a grain of salt. And, since week six has now passed, what reason would there be for him to request it?
well i guess that clears up the timeline of the trade request (assuming this is all real). I wonder how Bryant feels about it now.
I gotta say, Im really disappointed that Bryant isnt even catching half his targets yet
If true, it's not surprising. It's rare to find Heath Millers in the NFL today.
Hater = Realist
More drama...... I thought the season already started. Shouldn't we be talking about the games by now???
we better get nothing less then a 2nd round pick if we do follow through with his wishes. Or a play making TE. Or a backup QB thats worth a damn
Draft day trade.
He is just an immature guy, this team stuck by him after getting suspended for a whole season and he does this smh. Shame he hasn't grown up since his days at Clemson. Just Selfish.
But tbh If I'm the Steelers, I'm not trading him, he is still on his rookie deal and they have him under contract for next season.
1. Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia 2. Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia 3. Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan 3. Renardo Green, CB, FSU 4. Mo Kamara, OLB, Colorado State 6. Logan Lee, DT, Iowa 6.Khristian Boyd, NT, Northern Iowa
So let's play devil's advocate and say Steelers do trade him. Without AB and likely without a QB of Ben's caliber (even if he's currently not what he was) we'll likely be seeing the headline this time next year saying "Bryant unhappy in (insert city here). Is requesting a trade." Biggest loser of any trade will most likely be Bryant himself as he ends up a taller version of Mike Wallace
well it seems like every deep ball is just a little long for him. maybe dive give it a little extra on run plays. wtf id start hunter and let him sit in street cloths
For those i love i will sacrifice.
