Antonio Brown Says He's 'Divinely Blessed with Free Will' Amid Trade Rumors

Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown posted a message on Twitter Wednesday indicating that he remains in control of his own destiny:

This comes after he reportedly sent in a trade request to the Steelers due to conflict with head coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, per Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.

Brown was benched for Week 17 after failing to show up for practice during the week leading up to the game, according to Gerry Dulac and Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
