Like Bruce Arians, James Harrison is not here for the Antonio Brown vs. Steelers drama, and he was all-too-happy to spill the tea on how frustrated Brown is with his former team.
While Brown hasn't spoken to any of his team members since the Week 17 showdown against the Bengals, he has spoken to his former teammate, Harrison.
"Antonio Brown wants to get the same respect and right to speak on situations as other players. … I feel like the whole situation has got to a point where it's unrepairable." — @jharrison9292 pic.twitter.com/kG494WDPjc

And, as a further way of throwing shade, Brown made sure to appear together with his former teammate as his coach, Mike Tomlin, was hosting a season-ending press conference to discuss the future of the Steelers. Messy!
But James Harrison appeared on Undisputed yesterday to really give people insight into the extent of the drama.
He said that the root cause of Brown's frustration was the fact that he doesn't get, what he feels, is the same amount of “respect” and room to speak on things that other players (presumably, Ben Roethlisberger, whom he seems to have the most amount of issues with) get. Harrison also feels that things have reached a breaking point, and he doesn't think that Brown and the Steelers will be able to come to an agreement.
Harrison also confirmed that things might be better if the Steelers traded Roethlisberger and kept Brown.
“It’s a whole big situation that has balled up into this one huge boulder.”
James Harrison concluded by saying that if the Steelers don't end up trading or releasing Brown, they were going to “do what they can” to repair the situation and mend fences with the team.
