The 31-year-old wide receiver has had an eventful year. After forcing his way out of Pittsburgh, the Steelers traded him to the Oakland Raiders, where he signed a three-year $50 million contract.
Then, after skipping multiple practices and meetings during training camp, partly because he suffered from burns on his feet after a cryotherapy session, general manager Mike Mayock issued several statements saying that the team needs Brown to be “all in.”
Brown also launched a battle against the NFL, seeking to wear a helmet that had been declared obsolete by the league and the NFL Players Association, through the National Operating Committee for Standards of Athletic Equipment, per source.
