Brown wants out of Pittsburgh after getting a contract extension 2 seasons ago that made him the highest paid WR in the NFL. His contract has 3 years left on it that pays like 39 million .But all the guaranteed money is gone. So the Steelers could cut him at anytime if performance were to go down. Not likely but it`s still an out for the Steelers.
As a Steelers fan at first I was mad that Brown wanted out of Pitt .I mean he signed a new contract and all, he should live up to it. Brown started bashing the HC and QB, cant stand Tomlin or Ben was just a big narrative to get out . And it has worked .
But teams get rid of players all the time before a contract is up .Just look at the players who have been released in the last week.. Teams give out phony contracts to these guys. Brown knows this and put together a plan to get himself another pay day by forcing a trade. He may have gone about doing it wrong but its working.
NFL needs to be str8 up in contracts with players , these guys are the league and the NFL makes Billions.
Just watch as Brown has shaken things up.
