Arians: WR Antonio Brown an 'insurance policy' at WR

This was the first chance for Bruce Arians and his players to talk about why Brown is coming on board, how a deep, talented offense will handle another option in the passing game, and how a team with real positive momentum can avoid any chemistry problems.

So why not? We have good players. You can’t have enough of them.”
