Bryant was suspended for all of last season after violating league policy.
So far this season, Bryant has 15 receptions for 204 yards and one touchdown. He caught two passes on three targets Sunday against Kansas City.
When asked about the rumor Monday, Bryant said he did not request the trade and he was "moving on from it" and getting ready for Cincinnati.
Bryant: "I ain't complaining. I know my potential. I know what I can do. So ... whatever I get, I've got to make the best of it." @wpxi pic.twitter.com/1w0cr2EbDZ
