At the end of last season, the story about All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown and his troubles with the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger started to blow up. As tensions increased and Brown’s relationship with the Steelers organization deteriorated, he was demanding more money and in the offseason, he was traded to the Oakland Raiders who promptly made him the highest-paid receiver in the league. They also sent the Steelers a third- and a fifth-round pick in the most recent draft.
New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton has weighed in on the Antonio Brown issue before.
