Antonio Brown expresses gratitude for Steelers, says trade tweet 'stupid'

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown expressed gratitude towards the Steelers organization while speaking to the media Thursday.

What It Means:

"Obviously, I don’t want to be traded," Brown stated. "I’m still grateful to put on my uniform, grateful to be part of this organization. I don’t take it for granted. Obviously, it was a stupid remark online. I just got to stay away from online and the distractions." It was a week full of headlines and headaches for Brown others, both in real life and fantasy, but he draws a prime matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in Week 3.

Brown is the highest-rated wide receiver in numberFire's Week 3 fantasy rankings, as our models project him to score 19.0 FanDuel points at a cost of $8,800 versus the Bucs.
