Antonio Brown Wants To Play For 49ers
6 years agoFormer NFL receiver Jerry Rice and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown remain in contact and Rice said on Monday that Brown wants to play for the San Francisco 49ers. Brown had a dustup with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger before Week 17 and sat out of practices before being ruled inactive in the regular season finale. He's publicly requested a trade and Pittsburgh is likely to grant his wish despite taking a salary cap hit. He'll turn 31 in July and has six straight seasons of at least 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns. Brown would remain an elite WR1 if he went to San Francisco and was paired with Jimmy Garoppolo.
