I get that we all hate the contract but I don't think Brouwer is tainted meat like some might suggest. Management might be concerned with his production but I don't think he's poisoning any linemate and bringing them down.
Not every linemate, but virtually every linemate, especially those above him in the depth chart


This post by Bingo in the Brouwer injury thread is remarkable:
