The Pittsburgh Steelers are not trading Antonio Brown. He is clearly a little frustrated with some issues
Customized San Francisco 49ers Jerseys , but a trade is not happening. We can joke about it until the trade deadline, but hopefully nobody seriously thinks something will happen.That being said, this is another instance that proves why it is easy to make money as a bookmaker. The folks at Bookmaker.eu decided to put together a prop bet asking which team Brown will be playing for on November 15. It opened with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored at -2000 (1/20), the Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals as the non-Steelers favorite at 10/1, and our San Francisco 49ers installed at 28/1.The odds update regularly, and the Steelers are now -1893. The Philadelphia Eagles opened at +1600 (16/1)

We don’t know for certain who is betting what, but that suggests some money has come in on those two and the bookmakers want to even it out a bit.The Steelers would incur over $28 million in dead money if they traded Brown. It would be split $7 million this year, and the remainder in 2019. Suffice to say, the Steelers are not trading him. You could win a few bucks betting on the Steelers, but it would be a very small amount of money. Based on the current odds
San Francisco 49ers T-Shirt , you have to bet $1,893 to win $100. Sure, it’s a few bucks won, but more than likely, they’re taking in a few bets on longshots from people that figure, what the heck
San Francisco 49ers Hats , maybe we’ll be surprised. Those bets likely will be more than enough to compensate if not go beyond bets on the Steelers to retain him.All of that is to say, it’s a sucker bet and the best example of why sportsbooks make money hand over fist. The San Francisco 49ers have not made an official announcement, but early evidence suggests Nick Mullens will be the starting quarterback this coming Monday against the New York Giants. The team returned to practice on Tuesday for the first time since Mullens’ debut on Thursday Night Football, and he got the first reps of practice, according to the 49ers beat writers.Ian Rapoport and Jay Glazer both reported over the weekend that Mullens was expected to be the starter this week, but Kyle Shanahan said on Friday he was waiting until after the team’s four-day break before making any decision. One has to imagine Shanahan has had some kind of conversation with his two quarterbacks.The 49ers will have locker room availability following practice

The 49ers don’t have media availability on Wednesday, and then move into the normal three-day practice period Thursday through Saturday.
