The Pittsburgh Steelers’ fan base received some shocking, yet expected, news when Antonio Brown gave the following farewell message/video to fans on his verified social media platforms.
In case you haven’t seen it...here it is:

So, after this tweet was sent out, the reaction to it was strong. For the sake of everyone’s sanity, I didn’t add the fan reaction into this article, but I did collect many NFL players/media’s comments on Brown and his new found demands to get out of Pittsburgh.
Some are more informative, while others are more opinionated, but the reaction following the tweet/post was strong, to say the least.
Check out some of the responses which flowed across the internet in the article below...and be sure to check back often for the latest news on the entire situation.
(Editor’s Note: This story is ongoing, and as more players/media take to social media to discuss Brown’s most recent comments, they will be added here.)
AB, all these dudes hitting you up ain’t real, period. Come roll with a savage. Where I go , you go? Good bet.

Well he can't be traded until March so he must be getting released. If so, Steelers will count $21M for a player no longer there.. https://t.co/8NPzi8ysrr
