Read into this what you will, from Antonio Brown's interview with Sirius/XM:
Brown basically said that he doesn't think that Sanders will be back in 2013, and while the first part of his answer to the question was inaudible due to a bad cell phone connection, the second part wasn't.
"I don't think that they (the Steelers) really like guys that don't do things their way," said Brown. "There's a certain professional way that they go about their business and I don't think that they make decisions with guys that don't go about things in the way that they should. So in my opinion, I don't think he'll come back. It's just not smart to get a guy for one year at a price that you can get a guy for four years."
Brown is arguably the hardest worker on the team...but I always thought Sanders was a good kid and a hard worker as well. Kind of a strange comment, particularly coming from Brown. (I don't like it, actually...seems close to airing dirty laundry).
One aspect of this that hasn't really been discussed is the Steelers' locker room last year. The WR production last year was disappointing, and there were rumors of there being a bad locker room. Don't know if it's true, but certainly Pitt has let a lot of guys go, even guys (e.g. Mendy) who could be had at decent pricing.
It would be surprising to me, but if Sanders was on the wrong side of that locker room assessment, maybe that factors in as well into the decision-making. (Then again maybe I'm over-reading, but what else can you discuss on a forum in April?
Oh boy, now he's being disrespected by his very own "YMF" homeboy. LOL!
