‘Addition by subtraction’ is how the old saying goes. We may find that to ring true for the Steelers in 2019 without Antonio Brown.
There is no doubt that Antonio Brown was among the very best wide receivers in the league during his prime. Before last season, he was on a stretch of four consecutive All-Pro selections (which is an incredibly hard feat).
But over the past two years, Brown’s antics have become completely unbearable and utterly ridiculous.
Starting with the Facebook live incident, Brown quickly spiraled out of control – so much so that Pittsburgh was willing to deal a potential Hall of Fame player for a 3rd and a 5th round draft choices.
