It doesn’t look like the Bucs are going to be in the market to trade for Antonio Brown after these comments from new head coach Bruce Arians.
Arians coached AB early in his career and had this to say about how Brown has changed.
“There’s too much miscommunication, too much … diva,” Arians said Tuesday on The Adam Schefter Podcast. “I’ve heard so many stories — I like Antonio — he plays as hard as anybody on Sunday and he practices hard. He’s just gotta make better decisions off the field, be on time, do some of those little things.”
Arians told Schefter that the Brown he’s seeing today is not who he saw when the team drafted the wide receiver in 2010.
“He was the hardest working,” Arians said. “He and Emmanuel Sanders, boy they went after it because Mike Tomlin used to tell them, ‘two dogs, one bone.’ And at that time we had Mike Wallace, Hines Ward, I mean we had a pretty good run for one of them to get on the field. By the end of the season, they were both winning for us to go to the Super Bowl.”
A lot of people taking shots at AB, I am sure he will use it for motivation.
