Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said the team has no interest in bringing back Antonio Brown at this time. Tomlin made an appearance on ESPN's First Take, to talk Steelers and the controversy surrounding Myles Garrett's racial slur claim towards Mason Rudolph.
When asked about Brown, Tomlin said:
“We have no current business interest at this time. Things could always change depending on how the offseason plays out, but after everything that has gone down, it's hard to imagine Brown would be a good fit back into the locker room.”
This comes only a few days after Brown wrote a lengthy Instagram post apologizing for his negative comments towards Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and for not always respecting how good he had it:
“Mostly you a little bit of me !” Brown wrote. “Yee yee !! I never realized how good I had it, got caught up in my emotion with everyone coming after me I really apologize for my actions sincerely man ! It's never been another connection like what we done in the past decade. I appreciate you. Sincerely AB.”
In February of 2019, Brown said the Steelers quarterback had an owner's mentality, thinking he could talk down upon anyone he wanted.
“No conflict just a matter of respect! Mutual respect! He has a owner mentality like he can call out anybody including coaches,” Brown wrote. “Players know but they can't say anything about it otherwise they meal ticket gone. It's a dirty game within a game.”
The big question for Brown the next few months is if can he stay out of trouble, and will another team give him another chance in the NFL?
Other teams could be interested, but it doesn't seem the Steelers will be.
