The drama continues in Pittsburgh with Antonio Brown and the Steelers.
On Saturday Brown took to Twitter to start a ASKAB hashtag that culminated in him answering 10 questions from fans about his relationship with teammates and coaches and quickly the situation escalated.
The first question a fan asked was about the conflict between Brown and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Brown answered:
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— Antonio Brown (@AB84) February 16, 2019
When asked if he was only looking to go to a new team to get a new contract Brown stated
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— Antonio Brown (@AB84) February 16, 2019
When asked if there was a chance he'd remain in Pittsburgh Brown said he still had love for the city:
Love Steelers Nation everything to my heart ❤️ no more ! https://t.co/uWwi5mB3R3— Antonio Brown (@AB84) February 16, 2019
Finally, Brown explained why he didn't play in Week 17 and took aim at coach Mike Tomlin for his absence:
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— Antonio Brown (@AB84) February 16, 2019
No one knows the future of the relationship between the team and Brown, but Brown has agreed to a sit down meeting with owner Art Rooney II at Brown's home in Florida.
