Should the Steelers have kept Emmanuel Sanders over Antonio Brown?

Antonio Brown Emmanuel Sanders Steelers NFL

On Wednesday, former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders announced he was retiring from the NFL. Sanders came into the league in 2010 in the same draft where the Steelers drafted Antonio Brown. The two played together for four seasons but when it came time to pay a new contract, the Steelers chose to pay Brown and let Sanders leave in free agency.

So our question for the day is did the Steelers pick the right receiver? Brown went on to have the best six-season stretch of any receiver in NFL history but will forever be known for how things ended with the Steelers. Meanwhile Sanders went on to success with the Denver Broncos for six seasons but did not approach what Brown did statistically.

Cast your vote and let us know if you think the Steelers made a mistake signing Brown instead of Sanders.
