After strange 'trade me' tweet, Antonio Brown reportedly didn't show up to work on Monday

 

Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown did not report for work on Monday, one day after he appeared upset on the field and left the locker room in a hurry following a 42-37 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, several team sources told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

It is not clear if Brown's absence was excused by coach Mike Tomlin, but several sources indicated they did not know why Brown didn't show up with the rest of his teammates for meetings and film review.

I watched the game, not sure why he was so upset. They targeted him numerous times but Ben could not throw to him accurately because of the rush. He was also gimpy with a slight calf strain... Divas.. Oy

WR are by defintion divas. That said he may see that he has no shot of winning there and he wants to get out while he can win.

Nope, watch his interview today, I could not agree more with him.

 

I saw Marcus Spears making a claim that the Steelers defense was terrible because Bell did not get a new contract and was holding out.

 

I watched Jalen Rose make a claim that the injury to Shazer was why Bell was holding out and Brown was so upset because they see his injury as career ending and life threatening, and they wanted their money now....

 

 

Ahhh, Brown already got paid, Bell is a runningback with a $14 M salary for this year and the defense has been bad for a couple of years now.

 

So many people making things up.... Maybe Brown really was unhappy about the defense missing tackles, jogging after oppossing ball carriers, and the vaunted offensive line not blocking consistently. Maybe he did have a family emergency and the media is blowing it out of proportion as they usually do....
