Antonio Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers have a pretty strained relationship at this point. Whether it be his distaste with head coach Mike Tomlin, or his displeasure with Ben Roethlisberger, it was clear that Antonio Brown wanted to get out of Pittsburgh and as quickly as possible. Luckily for him, he eventually made his way to the Oakland Raiders in a trade. Most Steelers haven't been too vocal about the trade and AB's handling of the situation, although some players have thrown some subtle shade. At least, that's what it may seem like. For instance, wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster praised Roethlisberger on Instagram, which some felt was a slight to Brown.

"I was so blessed to enter the league and play with a Hall of Fame QB as a 20-year old," JuJu said. "Ben has taught me so much, he’s a true Leader and I can’t wait to rock with my guy this season."

Brown wasn't too happy about the post, taking to Instagram to suggest perhaps JuJu's integrity should be put into question. While some may believe beef is brewing, JuJu thinks the opposite. TMZ Sports caught up with the burgeoning star and asked him about AB. Smith-Schuster explained that there is "no bad blood" and that Brown is his "guy."

Next season should be an interesting one indeed.
