Former Pittsburgh Steeler Ryan Clark has a good feel inside the team's locker room and after the latest outburst involving Antonio Brown, Clark thinks it's time for the Steelers to move on from him.

Clark was appearing on SportsCenter with Scott VanPelt and didn't have any nice things to say about the star wide receiver.

“When it comes to just being a good teammate, when it comes to just being supportive, understanding that you’re trying to achieve one goal, that doesn’t matter to him,” Clark said of Brown, in an appearance on SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt via Pro Football Talk. “What matters to him is 19 attempts, 14 catches, 185 yards, two touchdowns against the Saints. That’s what’s important to Antonio Brown.”

Last year Brown went on Facebook Live after a game and recorded part of the coach's speech to the seem, something he didn't have much interest in listening to.

After injury missed Sunday's game with what the team called a knee injury it was revealed that Brown had actually not attended practice for much of the week after a blowout with Ben Roethlisberger. Clark thinks that type of behavior is exactly the reason why the Steelers need to trade him this offseason.

“This is about the fabric of the team,” Clark said. “This is about the guy that goes Facebook Live as your coach is talking and leaks information out of the locker room that never should be there, this is about the guy that publicly talks about not getting the ball or issues with the offensive coordinator, knocks over garbage cans or knocks over Gatorade bottles and cans because he doesn’t get the rock. At some point, when you’re an organization that’s built on team, organization that’s built on integrity, you have to show the rest of the locker room that. Will he be good going forward? Probably so. But you have to take that stand.”

Trading or releasing Brown would have a crippling effect on the Steelers cap space, costing them $21 million but if that's what the team needs to do to help the locker room, Clark thinks it's worth it.
