Antonio Brown continues
to take to social media in an effort to force his way out of Pittsburgh.
In a 9-plus minute Instagram Live video on Monday, Brown
broadcast while on an elliptical to display that he's willing to outwork all
competitors.
More saliently in terms of his future with the Pittsburgh
Steelers, Brown suggested that any team interested in acquiring the
hard-working but baggage-toting receiver need only pick up the phone.
Before make an offer to the Steelers in a trade you better
realize that you’re trading for a player that has a bad attitude and a lot of
baggage. He’s acted like a little kid on the sidelines throwing temptations
when he has got the ball. Here’s is what Brown had to say when he was tweeting
again on Monday.
"If your squad wants to win and your squad wants a
hungry wide receiver that’s the best in the whole world, someone hit my
phone," Brown said, via Pro Football Talk. "Tell them I ain't doing no
unguaranteed. I ain't even gonna play myself no more for this NFL. ... I think
I done everything. What y'all think? What's left for me to do? Win a Super Bowl? Gotta be the right team for
that, right? ... If your team got guaranteed money, they want to get to know me
and work with me, tell them to call me."
Any team that contacted Brown directly at this point would
be tampering as the receiver remains under contract with the Steelers for
the next three seasons.
Brown's comments do indicate that if a team trades for his
services, the Pro Bowl receiver
would seemingly expect a new guaranteed-filled contract to come along with that
swap. The expectation of sinking more money into the 30-year-old receiver could
further deteriorate Brown's already waning trade stock.
The Instagram post is the latest in a string of Brown
employing various social media outlets as a means to actively force his way out
of Pittsburgh. Over the weekend, Brown took digs at both Steelers
quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger and Coach Mike Tomlin during a Twitter Q&A.
Oh, and one more note from Brown's Monday Instagram Live
session: He no longer wants to be called "A.B." and instead would
like to be referred to as "Mr. Big Chest." So, there is that too.
