Antonio Brown is still trying to find a helmet that he will be comfortable wearing after his old one was deemed unsafe by the NFL, and former wide receiver Chad Johnson has offered to cut him a deal.
When Brown took to Twitter on Tuesday to ask fans for help finding a newer version of the helmet he has always worn, Johnson made him an offer. The ex-Cincinnati Bengals star says if Brown can convince Raiders head coach Jon Gruden to let Johnson play in the slot on third downs, Johnson will give Brown his old helmet.
I’ll give you my Schutt Air Advantage Adult Large Helmet that i wore in 2010 if you tell Gruden to let me play in the slot on 3rd downs https://t.co/GCuUy3DPxS

Neither one of those things are going to happen. The issue with Brown’s old helmet is that it is a model that was manufactured more than 10 years ago. Chances are the same is true for the helmet Johnson wore in 2010. There’s also no chance Johnson is going to play in the NFL again, as his last appearance in a game was back in 2011.
Brown has bigger problems this offseason than his helmet, but it has clearly been a major source of frustration for him. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like Johnson will be of much help to him.
