{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The apology tour continues.
Free-agent NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown sent an apology message Wednesday to former Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Ben Roethlisberger for getting “caught up in my emotion.”
The All-Pro shared a throwback picture of himself with the Steelers quarterback on Instagram, saying “I appreciate you.”
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“I never realized how good I had it, got caught up in my emotion with everyone coming after me I really apologize for my actions sincerely man! It’s never been another connection like what we done in the past decade. I appreciate you. Sincerely AB,” the post read.
The two players had a public falling out throughout the 2018-2019 season that came to a head when Brown was traded to the Oakland Raiders following nine seasons with the Steelers.

“I apologize to those guys for the distractions, for the unwanted attention I probably caused those guys, to their names, to the organization,” he said during an interview with 93.7 The Fan.

Brown said earlier this month "I think I owe the whole NFL an apology,” before adding that he “could have done a lot of things better.”
Brown has not played in the league since September. He joined the Raiders in the off-season, but did not play any regular-season games for them and was released following a turbulent offseason.
