Antonio Brown is on his way out of the Pittsburgh Steelers organization, but he isn't completely out the door yet. Brown has been highly critical of Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, but he's remained friends with other teammates.
Brown was seen this week in videos posted to Instagram, working out with his soon to be former teammates, per Bryan Deardo of 247Sports. Safety Terrell Edmunds, the Steelers' first-round pick last year, was one of the players working out with Brown. The workout occurred in Miami, where Brown spends a lot of his time during the offseason.

Recent reports have indicated that Brown will be traded any day now, but nothing is official yet. It'll be interesting to see how some Steelers players support for Brown goes over with Roethlisberger. Brown has blasted Big Ben in the media, accusing him of having an āowner's mentality.ā
The Steelers have insisted on a first round pick for Brown in negotiations, but it's unclear if they'll be able to get it. Their leverage has been diminished by Brown's public comments, and the list of teams interested is dwindling. Just today, a handful of teams have made it publicly known they're no longer interested in trading for Brown.
The one consistently strong contender so far has been the Oakland Raiders. Jon Gruden seems intent on landing Brown, and he has the draft capital at his disposal to make it happen.
It won't have any impact on where he's traded, but this video is the latest example that proves Brown isn't exactly the locker room cancer he's sometimes made out to be. He's still fairly popular among his Steelers teammates, and they aren't being too shy about their support for him.
