The Facts: I think the more Brown tweets, the more he scares off potential suitors. (That's not just something I think. In the case of one team, it's something I know.)
Diehards Line:
So wrote NBCSports.com's Peter King after Brown held a question-and-answer session with his Twitter followers over the weekend. As King suggests, it wasn't the kind of thing NFL coaches and front office people like to see. As Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio suggested, that might be Brown's aim: He might want to damage his own trade value in an attempt to get the Steelers to release him, rather than trade him. If he gets traded, he's stuck with the team that trades for him. If he's released, he can negotiate a new contract with the team of his choosing. Florio added: "No one denies Brown's talent, but the combination of his off-field behavior, his issues in the locker room, and his enormous contract may make him tough to trade. A lot of teams just aren't going to be interested, even if the price is a seventh-round pick. ..." Stay tuned.
