Bruce Arians calls Steelers’ Antonio Brown ‘diva’ off the field
The Pittsburgh Steelers are on the cusp of some drastic changes. The team is potentially parting ways with their two best attackers in RB Le’Veon Bell and WR, Antonio Brown.
The storied NFL franchise appears to be leaning toward trading Brown. Any such deal would happen at some point between now and the start of next season. Although, nothing is set in stone. This could very well change before the 2019 campaign gets underway for the Steelers. However, the relationship seems to be headed for a parting of the ways.

Former Steelers offensive coordinator and new Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach, Bruce Arians, talked about Brown’s situation in Pittsburgh and believes the superstar wideout is too much of a diva, via ESPN.
“There’s too much miscommunication, too much … diva,” Arians said Tuesday on The Adam Schefter Podcast. “I’ve heard so many stories — I like Antonio — he plays as hard as anybody on Sunday and he practices hard. He’s just gotta make better decisions off the field, be on time, do some of those little things.”

With Brown likely on his way out of Pittsburgh, the San Francisco 49ers have consistently been mentioned as a potential destination for the perennial Pro Bowler. Brown would love to go play with up-and-coming quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and even Hall of Famer and arguably the greatest wide receiver of all time, Jerry Rice, has also said the wideout wants to play for San Francisco.
It’ll be interesting to see how things pan out in Pittsburgh, but all signs point to a divorce with Brown suiting up for a new team for Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season.
