Steelers' Rooney: We're not looking to trade Martavis Bryant

It appears Martavis Bryant isn't going anywhere.

The Pittsburgh Steelers wideout reportedly requested to be traded recently, but Bryant later denied the report. Ben Roethlisberger followed that up by saying he didn't want out, and now team president Art Rooney II is confirming the receiver won't be on the move.

"We're not looking to trade Martavis," Rooney told Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "He was out of football for a year. Maybe some of us had higher expectations how quickly he could get back up to full speed, but he's making progress."

Bryant was suspended for the entire 2016 campaign for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. He returned to the field this season but has only found the end zone once in six games.

"He's working hard, he's making progress," Rooney said. "He's been a contributor to the offense and has the potential to be a bigger contributor."
