Day to Day
He can't use his old style helmet.
He went on the field to practice and was wearing his old Steelers helmet that had been painted silver and black. Team officials told him he couldn't wear it even in practice because it did not meet the required safety parameters set by the NFL.
Brown went off like cannon. later, he and his agent had a two hour meeting with the NFL and the rules stand and the NFL will not make individual exceptions for any player. They told him that Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers requested exception and were denied and both are wearing the new helmet. They listened to Browns arguments and said, "NO".
Brown has stormed out of camp and is now threatening to retire. Of course he's also suffering from frost bite of his feet from not wearing protective clothing in a Cryobooth.
Does he love that Shutts helmet that much or is the $50M contract that he has with Shutts that goes away if he doesn't wear it in games???
