Bryant says he's 'happy to be a Steeler' after reported trade request
In the wake of reports he wants out, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant tweeted Sunday night that he's perfectly content with his current situation.
Big win today and tomorrow right back to work tomorrow I am happy to be a steeler and can't wait to reach number 7 this year.

Bryant reportedly requested a trade weeks ago, after seeing his role with the Steelers reduced upon his return from a year-long suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.
The 25-year-old has just 15 catches for 204 yards and a touchdown this season, and is well off the pace he set in 2015, when he had 50 receptions for 765 yards and six touchdowns in 11 games.

Bryant's reference to "number seven" is likely related to the Steelers' quest for a seventh Super Bowl in franchise history - not the jersey number of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who's been critical of the wideout for his transgressions in the past.
Bryant is slated to become a free agent at the end of the current season.
