Antonio Brown, once upon a time maybe the best receiver in the NFL, is now maybe the worst NFL troll on social media. And he's at it again, now claiming that the Chargers and the Vikings are closing in on a blockbuster quarterback trade involving Justin Herbert.
"Source: BREAKING NEWS #CTESPN Hearing that a trade between Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Chargers is close to a blockbuster deal The deal includes Justin Herbert ," he reported this weekend.
Where did Brown come up with this one? He might argue that it comes from his fertile imagination. Others would charge that his mental instability is showing, in a sad way.
Clearly, the Chargers aren't going to be trading Herbert.

The Vikings do need a quarterback.
And "AB''? He's in need of something productive to do.
