Moments ago Antonio Brown went to Twitter to say how much he appreciates the passion of Steeler Nation. See for yourself. One thing I understand about this fan base and that I'll never forget and always appreciate is your passion. Know that it's all love this way and I am forever thankful for #steelernation ! […]

Fans have been hard on him, I take it as he is just trying to ease them off of him.

I don't no, sounds like a goodbye to me.

Maybe. But, at the end he made a point of saying, "this is not a goodbye, just a thank u." So who knows?

This might sound nuts, but I'd like to see this get worked out. Yes, he's been a dick....but there's plenty of dickishness (dickery?), or let's just say mistakes, to go around - Tomlin, BR, Art II for not stepping in sooner, etc.

This is football, a game, not life and death. If it doesn't get resolved, so be it. But a little "family counseling" could go a long way.

I'd say they ALL need to sit down and hammer out a cooperative work environment.

And if I was the owner, I'd tell Tomlin if the Steelers don't go to the SB next year he needs to have his **** packed.

Rooney doesn't give a ****, we need to come to terms with that. Tomlin should have been told that 4 years ago.
 
That's absolutely a good bye. And good riddance from the fans that used to love him. He was a great Steeler but he not only turned his back on his team but he turned his back on Steeler Nation. I still haven't seen any type of apology come from him.
 
Brace yourself, the fans who desire more from this team might not care for this article. It is obvious Rooney likes him some participation trophies.

When it comes to measuring the quality of a coach in Pittsburgh, there is only one standard, according to Pittsburgh Steelers President Art Rooney II, and that is wins. That might not necessarily be Super Bowl wins (after all, despite what most fans seem to think, that is a very difficult and rare achievement that 96.875 percent of the league fails to accomplish every year), but measurable, tangible success in victory totals is something the latest patriarch of the Rooney family pointed to recently when talking about the quality of the performance of current head coach Mike Tomlin.

“When you point to last year and everybody talking about all the drama, that was a team that won 13 games”, he said recently during one of his radio appearances. “So I think that the first test for me is the performance on the field. Were we winning games? Do we have a winning culture? And I think that the record speaks for itself”.

I appreciate all he has done for us over the years but his shtick is beyond old for a lot of us.

Like you said he never owned up to this last fiasco and most of us are tired of it.

one thing ab should really think about. if he stays in Pitt with Ben for another 3 years he will certainly be a hall of famer. he leaves and goes to another team, maybe maybe not.

He’s a hall of famer regardless. But if he goes to San Fran and can’t crack 1,000 all it does is prove Ben is elite and he made AB’s career.

I already know Ben is elite, IMO he has already proved that on the field.

Yeah that’s troubling for me. He’s completely overlooking all the drama that has lead to player unrest and the late season collapse, but hay, we won 13 games in 2017.

Art II appears to be living in denial to say his team has not been a circus. He has this blind loyalty to Tomlin and if he extends him, it’s going to send the message to Tomlin all is well, good job. And that will tell me all I need to know about Steelers going forward under Art II.

If your good with Antonio Brown leaving your a friggin FOOL! What do you know happened? Why does half the team want out? Where is the owner to right his billion dollar ship? Stop blaming one player who is doing right by this team with keeping quite. It's ignorant people like you that should just keep quite. Friggin idiot, lose Bell and Brown, James etc yeah lets get rid of everyone. How do you feel about Ben being traded? Bcause he's not on board with three years of rebuilding. Schmuck!!!

I think art 11 will find a way to make him change his mind and what ever the issue with him ben and mt are are resolved, if art can get brown to stay 1 more year, lets see if it is mt the main issue because if the same crap happens next year you have enough evidence that tomlin does not deserve a extension.
the only trade scenario i like is to AZ for Peterson and fitz and for fitz we throw in a 3rd
 
i dont see a rookie drafting a way to immediate AB you would need a vet and a big upgrade in production from Washinton and Rogers Switzer, I would let dhb walk and bring in a decent short term vet like hogan

Maybe this is the first step towards trying move on from some heated bad decisions that have gotten out of hand. Poor choices and diva bullshit aside, I do thin AB is a great receiver and looks good in the black and gold.
I can’t imagine either side really wants this divorce and both know they are better together. It will be interesting to see if the Steelers and AB start on the public reconciliation path to end the drama before the draft.
