Brown would laugh in his face and walk out if he tried. Is he seriously going to bench Brown for a game while he's sitting at 0-1-1? The media and fans would crucify him.
Last year, Brown signed a 4 year extension that makes him the highest paid WR in the NFL. The Steelers will be dealing with cap hell if they cut or trade him. There's no way Tomlin can go up against Brown and win. Even if the Rooney's agree with him on principle, they can't do anything to Brown because they've handcuffed himself with his contract and Ben only has a couple of years left.
Hopefully Bengals management learned their lesson with Chad Johnson.
He created a lot of ' low grade just under the surface' animosity in the locker room with his antics
Teammates didn't bluntly point the finger, but, reading between the lines you could see the insinuations.
