Antonio Brown bids farewell to Steelers fans on Twitter: ‘Time to move on’

The Antonio Brown era in Pittsburgh seems to be coming to an end, at least according to Brown’s Twitter account. The superstar wide receiver’s future with the organization has been in question since he missed a pivotal Week 17 game after a mid-week incident with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and Brown has since been publicly angling for a trade to the 49ers.

On Tuesday, Brown posted a highlight reel featuring some of his most memorable moments in a Steelers uniform set to Lil Uzi Vert’s “Do What I Want.” According to Brown, it’s “time to move on and forward.”

Thank you SteelerNation for a big 9 years…time to move on and forward……….✌🏽 #NewDemands pic.twitter.com/fbIoFNdqK4

The financial implications of cutting or trading Brown are severe, but it appears that the Steelers might not have much of an option at this point.

Antonio Brown Cap Charge to @steelers in 2019:
On Roster: $22.1 million
Off Roster: $21.1 million
Translation: he's not going anywhere.
