The NFL reported on its official Instagram that the Buffalo Bills were “closing in” on a deal to acquire Brown from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brown promptly commented “Fake news” with a siren emoji.

The report came from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, who noted the Bills bested teams such as the Oakland Raiders, Washington Redskins and Tennessee Titans in pursuit of Brown.
