Antonio Brown’s destination doesn’t matter, but the compensation does

Most of us have all dealt with situations where we’ve experienced people voluntarily exiting our lives. As I frequently have mentioned in my time here at BTSC, I am happily married with children. However, I did not originally draft my wife. In fact, I am a veteran of a starter marriage. My original blue chipper, selected in 1999, chose not to re-up with me in 2003 and decided to test the waters of free agency. Even though I tried to franchise-tag her, she quickly signed a new deal elsewhere as a Restricted Free Agent. Actually, much like Emmanuel Sanders ten years later, there was strong belief that there was indeed collusion as she had met frequently and negotiated a deal with other teams.
