Off the field, a lawsuit was announced after he allegedly threw furniture over the balcony at his Florida condo, a speeding ticket was issued when he was pulled over for allegedly going more than 100 mph on McKnight Road and he was reportedly involved in a domestic dispute with the mother of his child.

He also was the first person voted off 'The Masked Singer' on Fox.

But since Brown's apparent trade to the Raiders, fans in Pittsburgh the drama that he comes with it isn't worth the price.

"I'm glad he's going to be gone and  get rid of his drama," Steelers fan Jamie Gordon said.
