On Friday, Antonio Brown reportedly informed the Oakland Raiders that unless he gets to wear a helmet model that is no longer certified by the league, he will walk away from football.

It all started early Friday afternoon when ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Brown filed a grievance against the NFL to be allowed to wear a helmet that is no longer certified by the league.
