AB targets former teammates Carr, JuJu in latest Twitter rant
Free-agent receiver Antonio Brown took aim at a couple of NFL players in a pair of tweets posted on Monday.
First, Brown appeared to suggest that former Oakland Raiders teammate Derek Carr isn't likely to remain with the team next season - the franchise's first in its new home of Las Vegas:
Tell Derek Carr I’ll buy his house in Vegas 🤟🏾

Carr's 2019 stats were the best of his six-year pro career, but Oakland still missed the playoffs and the team can save $19 million of the pivot's $21.5-million cap hit by cutting him before next season.
Brown also seemed to mock former Pittsburgh Steelers teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster, who endured an injury-filled and ultimately forgettable season after being elevated to the No. 1 role following Brown's departure:
Boo Boo Shoester was ready under 500 U Bum learn some Respect

Smith-Schuster finished the season with a career-low 552 yards receiving as the Steelers posted an 8-8 record.
