Steelers, Martavis Bryant seem destined for divorce eventually

PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers are negotiating with the game's best running back on a long-term contract and managing a tight salary cap that will likely require the release of multiple veterans.

Yet one of the biggest stories surrounding the team this week was the growing chatter involving Martavis Bryant, who wanted out of Pittsburgh at midseason only to reverse course with expressed optimism for 2018 after the playoff loss to Jacksonville.

After talking with several people around the league, there's minimal buzz the Steelers are actively shopping Bryant. But that doesn't mean they aren't at least listening, as NFL Network reports.
