I don’t think there was one person that follows the NFL, who wasn’t caught off guard by the sudden news of Andrew Luck’s early retirement. With the announcement coming the last week of August, the Colts were left scrambling with only a handful of weeks to find a starting quarterback before the opening of the regular season. With so few options available, backup Jacoby Brissett became the most logical choice at that point. Brissett would be signed to a two year $30 million dollar contract, just a week after Luck’s retirement.

There are only three things guaranteed in life. They are birth, death, and everyone in the city of Pittsburgh glad the Steelers got rid of that headache known as Antonio Brown.

The Steelers selected Johnson with the third-round pick they got from the Raiders for Brown.
