PITTSBURGH — Just when you thought a resolution could be found and Antonio Brown would be able to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers next season, he goes to Twitter and burns more bridges.
Brown solicited questions and the first he responded to asked about the conflict between he and Ben Roethlisberger.
No conflict just a matter of respect! Mutual respect! He has a owner mentality like he can call out anybody including coaches. Players know but they can’t say anything about it otherwise they meal ticket gone. It’s a dirty game within a game. #truth https://t.co/MsSyBVd3Ny

One fan asked Brown what he would tell people that say he only wants a new team to get a new contract:
Not for the money its for the love of the sport ! The commitment to win relentlessly consistently passionately ! Plus I made 70 million it’s public record not to be cocky just truth! Time to play for my own Team AB84 the family ! https://t.co/v4vFO2QCSf

Another fan asked Brown about when he sat out during the Bengals game last season:
After the coach tell the team I quit while nursing some bumps then invite me to watch the show with same guys thinking I quit i can not stand with that! I’m the bad guy doe we miss post season think about it https://t.co/imrJ8jnnBc
