I have to trust Will Brinson, who once wrote right here on BC for like a week while I was on vacation before going on to a career at CBS Sports, on this one because if anyone would know if Antonio Brown was following the Raiders and Derek Carr on Instagram it would be Will.
You guys already know the situation today. Antonio Brown posted a fine letter he got from the Raiders, which led to words with Raiders general manager Mike Mayock, Vontaze Burfict reportedly had to hold back Brown, which has led to discipline and hysteria across the NFL.
But let’s first focus on the ultimate diss from AB — the Instagram unfollow! This just might be a man who never plays in a Raiders uniform:

The Next Chapter: Antonio Brown and GM Mike Mayock got into it Wednesday, and the team is now planning to suspend its star wide receiver, league sources tell ESPN.

Antonio Brown posted the fine letter on social media that Raiders’ GM Mike Mayock sent him. It led to an exchange, which is now leading to further discipline. This is not going away anytime soon.

The significance of a suspension is that it would void (assuming normal contract language) his $29,125,000 in contract guarantees. However, if he's on the Active Roster on opening day his $14,625,000 '19 salary becomes guaranteed because he's a Veteran. They could suspend him https://t.co/I1w7QTgFoq
