After Antonio Brown's Potential Trade Destination Was Reported, the Jokes Started Flying in

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly close to a deal with the Buffalo Bills involving the All-Pro wide receiver.

The internet was shocked late Thursday night when it was reported that the Steelers were closing in on a deal to send four-time All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown to the Buffalo Bills.

The Steelers had been looking into trading Brown after he skipped the final regular-season game due to frustrations with the team, most notably, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Pittsburgh planned on making a deal before Friday.

With Brown now reportedly heading to a team that just ended a 17-year playoff drought in 2017 after spending the first nine years of his career with one of the league's most prominent franchises, people couldn't help but laugh about the situation.

Antonio Brown was sure he could be weird enough that the Steelers would cut him and he could get a new contract with the Patriots and now he's on the SAME CONTRACT ONLY HE'S IN BUFFALO. pic.twitter.com/67g3ZrZhe8

Back in the day we used to tell players we'd send them to Siberia, aka Green Bay, when they'd ask for a trade. Now I guess it's Buffalo.

I knew Antonio Brown and the Steelers were going to have a messy divorce. But the team basically put his stuff on the lawn and set it on fire.
