Detroit Lions should take a chance on Antonio Brown

What I’m Hearing: USA TODAY Sports’ Mike Jones confirms that Antonio Brown has officially asked the Pittsburgh Steelers to trade him. Now what? USA TODAY Sports

The Detroit Lions aren’t likely to trade for Steelers' receiver, Antonio Brown. They don’t like distractions. And Brown is certainly a distraction.

He’s also a difference-maker. Still. Even at 30 — he'll be 31 by next season’s start.

And considering the Lions are in the midst of a half-century rebuild … well, why not make a play for the talented receiver?

He’d cost about $15 million next year.
