On Monday the 31-year-old wide receiver filed a second grievance in regards to his helmet.
The new grievance argues that Brown was not allotted a one-year grace period to transition to a new helmet.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was advised last season that the style of helmet he wears had been banned for use by the NFL and the NFLPA but was given one year to make a transition to an approved helmet. Brown feels he deserves the same grace period.
Brown's preferred helmet, the Schutt Air Advantage was originally banned because of its age. When Brown found a newer version of the same helmet, the league sent the helmet off for safety testing and when it failed banned it again for safety issues, but since the league didn't originally ban it because of safety concerns, Brown feels his argument has merit.
The new grievance will be heard by an arbitrator on Friday.
