Everything wide receiver Antonio Brown has said and done recently indicates he no longer wants to be a part of the Pittsburgh Steelers' organization. However, Peter King of Monday Morning Quarterback says that it is the exact opposite:
“I’ve heard that Antonio Brown does not want to be traded and he wants to play in Pittsburgh and he wants to try to win a Super Bowl there,” King said, via Dave Bryan of Steelers Depot. “I mean, he’s got a funny way of showing it sometimes, but there’s no rush. There’s nine weeks until the beginning of the league year. So, there’s no reason why they have to hurry and make a decision right now, which would be a decision made out of weakness and made out of vulnerability.”
King adds that the Steelers will likely listen to offers and that they will pull the trigger on a trade if they like what they are receiving, but he thinks that eventually, Brown and Mike Tomlin will meet and settle things.
The Brown situation is certainly a bizarre one.
In the week leading up to the Steelers' final game of the regular season, the All-Pro wideout got into a heated argument with Ben Roethlisberger, apparently throwing a football at him. He then complained of knee pain but refused to go for an MRI, with teammates later questioning the legitimacy of his injury. Brown was then benched for Pittsburgh's game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17.
Brown hauled in 104 receptions for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns this season.
