Just when you thought it was over, the Antonio Brown drama has roared back to life, and this time, the embattled wide receiver wants to talk about Pittsburgh.
According to ESPN, Brown — who recently sat down with the outlet to talk about his childhood in the Liberty City district of Miami, Florida — maintains that while he's not “angry” with the Steelers and how things went down, he still wants to be traded from them.
But as usual, he went on to throw the rest of the Steelers under the bus, calling quarterback Ben Roethlisberger a leader that had “52 kids” underneath him. And though Antonio Brown tried to clarify his comments afterwards, he still had to answer to the fact that he was still throwing his soon-to-be ex-quarterback some shade.

Antonio Brown is now officially on the trading block after meeting with the Steelers brass last week in South Florida. While there has been some speculation about where his career will take him next — and while he is, no doubt, a good player — his troubles on and off the field have turned many teams off from considering him for next season. We will keep you apprised of any potential trade, however.
