Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is on the outs with his team, and barring an unforeseen change in circumstances, it looks like the Steelers will be trading Brown this offseason.

Well, Arizona Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald does not approve of the way Brown has been handling his situation in Pittsburgh, saying he does not understand how lucky he has been:

“Mr. Big Chest is a good friend of mine, but I don’t think he’s going about it the right way personally,” Fitzgerald said while speaking on a panel at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. “To be able to play with an all-time quarterback like he’s able to play with, I don’t think he understands how good he has it. It can get tough out there. It can get tough out there.”

The Cardinals star is of course referring to Ben Roethlisberger, whom Brown has had a shaky relationship with for quite some time.

Things then reached a boiling point in the week leading up to the season finale, where Brown got into a heated dispute with Roethlisberger that reportedly ended in Brown throwing a football at the quarterback.

Brown then refused to practice, complained of knee pain but refused to go for an MRI and then went AWOL on the team before consequently being benched by head coach Mike Tomlin ahead of the Steelers' Week 17 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
