Antonio Brown doesn't want to be traded by the Pittsburgh Steelers and wasn't with the team on Monday because of a personal matter, his agent said.

Brown was seen getting into a sideline confrontation with offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner during Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The receiver also responded 'Trade me let's find out' to a former Steelers staff member who tweeted Brown wouldn't be the same player without Ben Roethlisberger.

"The tweet yesterday was not in reference to anything other than Antonio responding to a person he knows," Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN.

"It was not directed toward a trade, or wanting to be trading. It was a personal response to a former Steelers employee who insulted him. Any idea he was asking for a trade is not accurate. Secondly, yesterday he had a personal matter. I talked to the team about it. His issue was unrelated to the tweet or his relationship with the team. Third, anything you see between AB and the coaches, AB has an incredible drive to win. He just wants to win. That's all that that is. That's not anything more than him encouraging his coaches and teammates to win. And that's what his entire focus is on. Any notion, any speculation otherwise, can be put to bed. This is a non-story that has been blown out of proportion. We can end this right here and now."
