I am all for guys doing everything they can to get paid. I am especially for it at the end of their career. These guys have a short time to get paid, and the way the system works teams can cut and players can holdout. That's the balance of power.
But when holdouts stretch into the season the balance of power shifts. The player starts taking huge fines and passing up game checks. At this point Brown has lost so much money by sitting out, that he could get a raise and still come out behind. Honestly, how many guys have ever missed games and come out ahead financially? Once you start giving away the money you already had you are letting business get personal and your agent is giving bad advice.

You are starting to see teams shed their unsigned or untradeable players. The 49ers released Navarro Bowman yesterday who was a stud LB until he was hit with some gruesome injuries.
Now that he's cut, any other team can sign him for the vet minimum if he's willing. Seems like LTs on the market can be traded for a fifth-round pick. Surely the Seahawks or the Broncos might be willing to take the chance on Brown if they can clear the cap space.

The latest is that Brown's team is still trying to force a trade...but if that doesn't go through, it is expected he will report the Monday after the bye week. Texans are going to request the 3 week roster exemption for him if he returns.
