Antonio Brown sends message to Steelers fans and says it’s ‘not a goodbye’

In the last several weeks, there has been much chatter around the uncertainty surrounding Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver Antonio Brown’s future with the franchise.

Brown added more chatter to that uncertainty with a post on Instagram where he thanked the fans for supporting him throughout everything, via ESPN.

“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 ! (this is not a goodbye, just a thank u).”

Although he did indicate that it isn’t a goodbye, it does stir the pot a bit about his standing with the team. There has been plenty of chatter that he may want out given the internal conflict with the team.

There have been various reports that the team may field offers from several teams over the offseason. This has already seen a few teams already being mentioned, such as the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, and Philadelphia Eagles.

If the Steelers do go this route, there will be plenty of interest from around the league. Brown has established himself as one of the best wide receivers in the league. He is a bonafide No.1 wide receiver in the league that can anchor any passing game.

Ultimately, time will tell what Brown’s fate will be Brown’s fate over the offseason. Regardless of what happens, he has made it clear that he appreciates the fanbase’s support throughout his career.
