Antonio Brown Rumors: Helmetgate 'Was All BS', Says Anonymous Steelers Exec

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown was never going to retire, even if he isn't allowed to wear the helmet of his choosing.

At least in the eyes of a Pittsburgh Steelers' source.

"This was all BS," the team source said, per Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports. "AB wants to play football. There was no chance he wasn't going to play for the Raiders. We all knew that. The Raiders had to know it too, but eventually all the drama wears you out."

La Canfora echoed that sentiment, saying there was "never any chance" Brown's helmet grievance would result in retirement when Brown had $30 million waiting for him.
