That likely means Brown is as good as gone.
Didn't Pouncey say the same about Bell?

It’s refreshing sometimes to see someone on the roster being “PC”...lol.

So you're saying you don't have to stick your foot in your mouth when you open it? Douse gas on the embers and fan the flames? Damn! some one needs to make a memo and pass it around the locker room.

As several have posted here, that applies to most of the locker room - the core drama has been generated by a few players
Contrary to the hot takes from many of those who cover the team (or in the case of national talking heads just talk about the team), sounds like (most of?) the players will get over it and would welcome AB back.
Despite the "band of brothers" nonsense it's a business and if a co-worker helps the business succeed his co-workers will put up with a lot.
This comment from JuJu confirms these guys are not all best buds that constantly stay in touch off the field
Smith-Schuster, who replaced Brown in the Pro Bowl due to injury, said he has reached out to Brown and hasn't heard back but stressed that players are vacationing this time of year and contact is minimal. He "no doubt" expects to chat with Brown soon, he said.

Excellent point. Much drama gets created on here by the articles and quotes getting posted with zero context. The usual gets read as JuJu reached out but AB won’t return his calls. Now fans start heaping on the drama. When in context JuJu explains this is common this time of year when players are away from team stuff and putting in full time with family. It’s not that I think ‘everything is awesome’ but I dont see the point in closing the door on situations we know very little about at this time. It’s the kneejerk “he’s gotta go” responses to everything that gets so old on here.

The key players should be extending a life line to Brown, giving him ample reason to make things right. (Plus maybe we can find out what LJ Fort thinks.) If Brown comes back (I'd put 50/50), a hostile locker room is the last thing needed.
I think these comments by these teammates shows that the situation wasn’t as bad as initially reported...

Time allows people to get past the emotional part of the situation. I'm going 70/30 that AB is back.
he also thought hernandez was innocent, just sayin

From Fowler this morning:
Antonio Brown has had contact with the Steelers. Agent Drew Rosenhaus, in response to @FanSided report that Brown and the team have begun discussing possible reconciliation, told ESPN: "(Report) has no idea what our position is. We have not shared it with anyone outside of the Steelers. We have shared our thoughts with the Steelers but will keep those discussions internal."
Ouch...
