It's quite possible we're nearing the end of Antonio Brown's tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers. At least, we might be if it was up to the wide receiver only.

After posting a tweet stating he's "divinely blessed with free will" during Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin's media availability Wednesday, Brown followed the San Francisco 49ers on Instagram.

Brown later appeared in former Steelers linebacker James Harrison's Instagram story where they revealed Harrison would be holding an exclusive interview with the star wideout.

Harrison routinely criticized Tomlin throughout the year, stating New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is more disciplined than the Steelers bench boss and blaming him for the team missing the playoffs in 2018.

Tomlin confirmed Brown didn't ask for a trade. But when asked if he thought Brown gave up on the team, he merely responded, "you can call it what you want to call it."
