Anybody who follows the NFL has heard of Antonio Brown’s latest foot debacle, but how much can this atrocious off-season set him astray from his path this year?
For starters, frostbite on his foot hasn’t even been the start of his problems. He has glanced rumors of retirement, after losing his second case about his helmet grievance. He reportedly had called upon Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers for also defying helmet regulations.
After being sent evidence that both quarterbacks were abiding by the rules in their training camp footage, he still wasn’t done. He painted the Raiders logo over his former Steelers helmet, and practiced with it. Once called out, he finally settled with the new helmet.
The Oakland Raiders have a few tough choices to make. If they were to lose Brown to retirement over a helmet, it would be detrimental for the sinking organization. Oakland gave up a 3rd round and a 5th round draft pick, which Pittsburgh used to draft wide receiver Diontae Johnson and tight end Zach Gentry. If he was to retire, the Raiders could get back a portion of the 15 million dollars Brown was set to earn this year. Brown could be placed on the non-football injury list, however. This would ensure that the Oakland organization would not owe a dime to the wideout.
With his frostbitten feet and constant fighting with the National Football League, the future for Antonio Brown is an unsure one.
