You’re going to have to bear with us today because, understandably, we’re going to be talking an awful lot about Antonio Brown, and probably will continue to do so for another day or two. When you have a player that means that much to your organization, both currently and historically, it tends to draw a lot of attention, especially when you orchestrate your departure in so spectacular a fashion—blonde mustache and all.
Brown will soon be sent from the Pittsburgh Steelers, after nine years, to the Oakland Raiders, and for their troubles they will get to wield an unwieldy $21 million-plus dead money charge for the privilege of not having him on their 53-man roster.
