Is it possible that Martavis Bryant smokes himself out of the NFL before he's even able to smoke-signal his way out of Pittsburgh? Obviously I am being facetious, because someone with such an immense amount of talent will be given the second (more accurately third, fourth, or fifth) chance that he's done everything but deserve. That said, he must be back to puffing on that good-good if he thinks that prematurely burning bridges is the best way to create more avenues out of town. I'm sure the Steelers will be able to work out a deal sooner or later, but having the disgruntled party go full-scorched Earth isn't doing anything to douse the rumors of a flammable reputation. This might be a tough concept for Martavis Bryant to understand, but when demanding a trade it's probably best to not sabotage your own trade value. When trying to get a better, more suitable job for yourself, it seems rather counterproductive to completely quit on your current one. An NFL locker room isn't remotely comparable to the average workplace, but that doesn't mean that the people in charge of them don't put a premium on players that can be trusted to show up even when they don't particularly feel like it. Blinding speed and the unknown of puff-puff-passed on potential will likely have more than one team making some character concessions. However - due almost solely to the actions of the player begging for an offer - those hypothetical teams certainly won't be making an offer that the Pittsburgh Steelers can't refuse. Can't believe the guy who is one joint away from an indefinite suspension didn't have the foresight to see the forest through all those trees. "Shocking" Update:
