Antonio Brown’s agent says WR was tending to ‘personal matter’

Antonio Brown

Antonio Brown did not show up for work the day after the Steelers lost a tough game to the Chiefs, but his agent insists the absence has nothing to do with the star wide receiver being dissatisfied in Pittsburgh.

On Tuesday, Brown’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Brown missed meetings and film study on Monday because he was tending to a “personal matter.” He said the absence had nothing to do with Brown’s tweet on Monday, which seemingly challenged the Steelers to trade him. Rosenhaus also insisted Brown does not want to play elsewhere.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin all but confirmed on Tuesday that Brown’s absence was not excused, so it is still somewhat troubling that Rosenhaus had to speak with the team about it. If Brown was tending to a personal matter and has a solid relationship with Tomlin and the organization, it’s unclear why he would need to involve his agent.

In addition to his strange tweet and his absence from work on Monday, Brown has openly supported Le’Veon Bell at a time when other Steelers players have criticized the running back for being selfish with his holdout.
