Brown says 'too much smoke' to return to Steelers. MORE:
NEW YORK — The Pittsburgh Steelers insist there's still a chance wide receiver Antonio Brown could return next season.According to a transcript provided by HBO, the four-time All-Pro told LeBron James on James' HBO show"The Shop" that there's"too much smoke" between Brown and the team for Brown to play for Pittsburgh in 2019. Brown's conversation with James marked his first extended public comments since requesting a trade last month.
Brown, speaking with a group that included James, rapper Meek Mill, actor Jamie Foxx and New Orleans Pelicans centre Anthony Davis, took issue with the way the team has portrayed him after benching him for the regular season finale against Cincinnati. Brown says he told head coach Mike Tomlin he was banged up, and Tomlin then told him to go home. Tomlin said the team benched Brown because Brown declined to update them on his health in the 24 hours leading up to kickoff.
