After everything that has gone done over the last month, is it possible that disgruntled wide receiver Antonio Brown could return to the Pittsburgh Steelers?
Apparently, Brown thinks there is.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Brown has been speaking with people in the Steelers front office whom he has a close relationship with and has told them to that he has not closed the door on playing for the Steelers again.
It's hard to determine exactly what Brown wants at this point, especially after he removed all Steelers-related information from his Twitter bio and recorded a video with former disgruntled Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison in which the two of them mocked a Mike Tomlin press conference.

Brown then refused to practice, complained of knee pain but refused to go for an MRI and then went AWOL on the team before being consequently benched by Tomlin for Pittsburgh's Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
In spite of his theatrics, Brown remains one of the best wide outs in the league.
The 31-year-old hauled in 104 receptions for 1,297 yards and a league-leading 15 touchdowns on the season en route to his seventh Pro Bowl. Brown has also earned four First-Team All-Pro selections throughout his nine-year NFL career.
Should Pittsburgh decide to move him, he will receive heavy interest on the trade market.
