Antonio Brown Claims Steelers Trading Him To The Bills Is “Fake News”

Antonio Brown was traded to the Buffalo Bills Thursday night…or was he.

The WR is claiming on Instagram that it’s “fake news” via an Instagram comment on a post breaking the news sent out by the NFL’s official account.

It seems as if members of the media with insider information have their doubts as well…

An NFL source says #Bills have inquired about Antonio Brown with the #Steelers, but no deal is imminent. In fact, another league source termed it “unlikely.”

And as many have found out already, Brown and the skeptics were correct, with the trade reported as dead as of Friday morning.
