Martavis Bryant: If Steelers don’t get me the ball, ‘I want out period’

Martavis Bryant

Martavis Bryant has created a headache for a Pittsburgh Steelers team that is 5-2 and could be the best in the AFC, but the wide receiver insists he is not trying to be selfish.

After he initially mocked a report that claimed he wanted to be traded, Bryant has decided to change his stance. The 25-year-old openly admitted that he wants to be dealt while speaking with ESPN’s Josina Anderson on Tuesday morning, though he insists he is not being “selfish.”

Bryant can’t have it both ways. It doesn’t get more selfish than becoming a distraction on a winning team that isn’t getting you the ball enough to keep you satisfied. Bryant has also created tension among his teammates by criticizing one of them in an Instagram comment.

The Steelers reportedly do not intend to discipline or trade Bryant despite him missing a team meeting on Monday, but you have to wonder when they will have had enough. Unless they plan on changing their offense to fulfill Bryant’s demands, the drama the receiver is creating may become too much to handle.

Bryant has been suspended multiple times for positive drug tests, so Pittsburgh probably won’t get anything for him in a trade. An outright release isn’t out of the question at this point.
