Wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Antonio Brown exchanged serious blows on social media over the weekend. With Brown kicking things off, Smith-Schuster did not wait very long to respond to his now-former teammate, who was traded to the Oakland Raiders earlier in the offseason.

While going online to fire back at Antonio Brown, the new Pittsburgh Steelers No. 1 receiver initially kept it simple.
Keep your emotions off the internet

“All I ever did was show that man love and respect from the moment I got to the league. I was genuinely happy for him too when he got traded to Oakland w/ a big contract, and now he takes shots at me on social media? Crazy how big that ego got to be to take shots at people who show you love! Smh”
JuJu Smith-Schuster wasn't done, either.

Brown, who is no doubt one of the best pass catchers in the league today, now has a new home. However, he has remained outspoken when bashing the Steelers, Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and Smith-Schuster. Despite moving from Pittsburgh, per his request, Brown continues to make it a point to take shots at his now-former teammates.
Of course, in what would ultimately become Brown's last go-round as a member of the heralded Steelers in 2018, Pittsburgh missed the postseason in Week 17. Leaving the city on a negative note, Brown certainly hasn't gained back any Steelers fans throughout this offseason.
