The latest piece of evidence comes from Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, who writes in a recap of the team’s objectives for 2017 that “Brown’s antics are wearing thin on some of his teammates and certainly his coaches.”
OK, his antics are wearing thin. Fine. How are his numbers wearing? 106/1284/12? Yeah, those number fit just fine. Look, this guy is the best receiver in the game. His antics don't prevent him from producing or playing. If this is a negotiating ploy by the Steelers, it's clumsy at best. The line of teams who would gladly put up with his nonsense would be lengthy.
Bottom line: Antonio Brown is an NFL wide receiver. This is how NFL wide receivers act. Thus, until Pittsburgh can replace Brown's production, they're going to have to live with some silliness.
One final thought: Is Pittsburgh annoyed with Martavis Bryant's antics? The ones that got him SUSPENDED for all of 2016? I have read no stories about that.
