Brown has gotten in trouble for his shoes too.
Well, yeah. ‘Cause if you fine him or somesuch, he will get very upset. Very upset.
What would be funny, is if he lays a huge egg on Monday.
Even without that happening, my over-under on the next AB-derailment is 10 days.
That’s probably because his agent told him that, if he doesn’t watch out, he’s going to be out $30 million or so.
I guess we have the practical answer to whether or not the Raiders could recoup his guaranteed money. LOL.
Still think this ends badly, but maybe they get a few games out of him before the inevitable explosion.
I cannot Believe what dumbasses the Raiders are to fall for the “I’m all about the team” bullshit again. They are really begging for all the Misery they are going to get.
What choice do they have? They can’t get the draft picks back. His trade value is zero.
An earnest acceptance of his apology costs them nothing. Try to put it behind them, give Brown every incentive to try and atone on the field (assuming he even wants to continue playing football), and fine the living shit out of him if he continues to screw up. If he grossly violates his contract, void it, and get out of some/all of the guaranteed money.
Who knows, maybe the Raiders can recoup enough from Brown in fine money that he ends up playing for free?
They can save the 30 million worth of cap hit over the next X years.
Yes, assuming the arbitrator disregards Brown’s apology and allows the Raiders to recoup. But what if the arbitrator won’t after this? Besides, he might actually play football now. Why not try to get some value out of him?
At least it hasn’t been boring. He got an ad agency to put together a video, purportedly including his phone conversations with Raiders management; all in a Nike-ad-esque style, and he posted the 2 minute video on YouTube today. https://youtu.be/uCH_NCZ7Ejs
LOL.
“This is my life. Ain’t no more games.”
And that’s it, Antonio has officially retired from football.
They have pissed those draft picks down the shitter, full stop. They are not going to compete this year, everybody knows. But with the remaining picks and the cap space of 30 mil, they might build something. Do you honestly suggest that anything within that head inside that “unacceptable” helmet is going to be good for anything other than Brown or Rosenhaus’s wallet? Fuck no, but Trump-hair-wanna-be-Davis-the-younger is gonna take the bait and think pissing on his foot some more is being decisive, and made Mayock bend over.
Cutting the bait was the best move they had, And Mayock knew it, but got stuck with the asshole long term.
Try a Roethlis-Burger at Peppi’s sometime.
Doesn’t every asshole free agent or trade bait say that? In any sport (I’m looking at you, Dwight Howard)?
This keeps getting better.
Missed that by 9 days, aka I overestimated AB’s ability to keep his mouth shut and count the money by 1,000%.
Starting to think -demonic possession.
The gift that keeps on giving
Maybe he does want to go play for the Patriots? I feel a slow-speed chase by the CHP on 680 is the next thing we should expect…
His agent must be at wits end.

I remember when Johnny Manziel was the weird story in football, Antonio Brown has him beat.
Let’s see who’s desperate enough to take a bite at that apple.
I’m hoping Washington isn’t that stupid, but we all know they are. Dan Snyder’s private jet is probably in the air already.
Are team fines tax-deductible? If so, 1 miliion less 300 k is 700 k for a sum total of about 0.76 practices and 2 handful of tweets (oh, and a crappy helmet paint job). Not a bad haul. Rumor* has him going to the Bengals to improve team morale there.
*Rumor as in, maybe this will become a rumor. Dolphins of course equally likely to bite
