Will Antonio Brown Trade Be Announced on Day 1 of 2019 NFL Draft?
- Yes: +140
- No: -200
I really like “No.” First of all, Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown might not even be traded. He probably will be, but there’s a chance he won’t be.
Additionally, Brown is due a $2.5 million roster bonus on March 17, so if the Steelers are to get a deal done, they will be highly motivated to wrap it up by that date.
With -200 odds, there’s a 66.7% implied probability that Brown won’t be traded on Day 1 of the NFL Draft (Thursday, April 25), but I think the true odds are closer to 80%.
I bet “No” at -200 and would bet it to -350.
The Pick: No (-200)
