Let’s start with the three primary reasons the Steelers should keep Antonio Brown by signing him to a long-term contract that could guarantee him somewhere in the filthy rich neighborhood of $35 million to $45 million. He is a great player, arguably the best on the club. He is its hardest worker if James Harrison isn’t. He might be the best receiver in football, a guy who should be able to help you win Super Bowls.
Now, the three top reasons the Steelers should at least look into trading Brown before he goes into the final year of his contract next season: He will turn 29 in July and easily could break down or slow down by the time his new long-term deal ends.
