Risks that his recent social-media habits aren’t just an effort to get out of Pittsburgh but a meltdown that will continue once he’s in a new city. However it plays out, Brown will receive a $2.5 million roster bonus on March 17, which means it likely will play out by then (unless he agrees to delay the date of the payment). ...
