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.
