PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) -- Big news on the Antonio Brown trade front: The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to deal the star wide receiver by the end of the week.
ESPN's Adam Schefter, citing league sources, reported a deal is expected to be in place by Friday.
The Oakland Raiders are perceived to be the front-runners to acquire Brown. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals are out of the running, while mentioned three new, unidentified bidders.
Brown, who turns 31 in July, is a four-time All-Pro. He requested a trade after a series of disagreements with Steelers management and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
