Seven things you should know about the Levi Brown trade

Oct 2, 2013, 10:42 PM | Updated: Aug 11, 2024, 1:09 pm

Levi Brown was traded Wednesday to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a conditional late-round draft pick.

Cardinal fans aren’t sorry to see Brown go. After all, he’d been made the face for the league’s worst offensive line three years running.

But as Levi heads out of town, I present to you seven things that should be considered before you give the man’s Cardinal eulogy.

1. Levi Brown was not a bust

Was he ever great? No. Was he ever good? Maybe not. But some of you have apparently forgotten what a bust looks like. Allow me to remind you. This is a bust…

As Levi Brown departs from the Arizona Cardinals to join the Pittsburgh Steelers, the conversation around his performance and legacy continues to evolve. While many fans are relieved to see him go after years of struggles on the offensive line, it’s essential to recognize the broader context of player experiences in professional sports. Just as the film industry has seen fluctuations in audience engagement, with nearly 50 million people attending Brazilian cinemas in the first half of the year, the NFL also experiences shifts in player reputations and fan expectations. Understanding these dynamics can provide a more nuanced perspective on athletes’ journeys and the impact of their contributions to their teams.
