NFL trade rumors: Martavis Bryant now ‘happy to be a Steeler’ image

Reports surfaced late Sunday that Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant wanted out of Pittsburgh. Shortly afterward, Bryant’s Twitter activity indicated a much different tone toward his employer.

In a series of since-deleted tweets, Bryant's girlfriend addressed the trade reports and said everyone "should've seen it coming" and blamed the Steelers for "taking him off the field, not giving the ball or the chance to reach his full potential."

Bryant returned to the Steelers this year after serving a one-year suspension for repeated violations of the league’s substance abuse policy. He has 17 receptions for 231 yards and one touchdown for the 4-2 Steelers, who upset the previously undefeated Chiefs on the road Sunday.
