Last season, Bell's contract renewal negotiations with the Pittsburgh Steelers broke down, leading him to protest by holding out; and at that time, Brown, during an interview, chose to side with the team and criticized Bell.
The key point is that Brown secured his contract renewal, while Bell did not. Brown's actions were indeed in defense of the team, but as a beneficiary of the situation, he had the luxury to speak without concern.
To some extent, Brown was an accomplice in the Steelers' oppression of Bell.
Ultimately, the relationship between Brown and the Steelers ended in destruction, entirely due to consequences of Brown's own making.
Now, the situation is fundamentally different. After all, the contract renewal negotiations of Li Wei and Mahomes are still ongoing; neither of them is a beneficiary yet.
Li Wei's actions are not from the position of a privileged beneficiary, issuing commands from a pedestal.
