Mark Madden: Raiders finding out Antonio Brown is exactly as advertised

[Steelgal]

It was reported by Shefter on ESPN just now the Raiders sent AB a second letter last night stating he would not receive any termination pay, if let go by the team like all other players do.

Im assuming it must be like unemployment pay??

Well played Raiders!!!

lol

lol

Hahaha right?!? And now Chestio has asked to be released. What a **** show!!!!!

[Oh wow]

He doesn’t want to play. That’s the only logical conclusion.

[Eich]

He doesn’t want to play. That’s the only logical conclusion.

I have this weird feeling that he has a behind-the-scenes deal with a super bowl contender.

he and his a-hole agent plotting another way out of a contract.

Adam Schefter
By fining Antonio Brown $215,073.53 last night for conduct detrimental to the team on Sept. 4, the Raiders voided the $29.125 million worth of guaranteed money in his deal, per league sources.

This could help explain why Brown is now asking the Raiders for his release.

LOL. Brown now has to act like a responsible human being to get paid and he’s like eff that. There is something seriously off with him. Like medically wrong.

Oh well...Beat the Pats!

I thought that too but...After all that **** that has transpired literally from the day he has gotten there...Do you honestly think any team you give him as much guaranteed money as the Raiders did

He wants to get paid. The Raiders have fined him $250k+. He got 0 signing bonus. And now they voided the guaranteed money on his contract. So of course he wants out now.

He probably wants more money that Julio is getting now.

I hope the Raiders figure out how to hold on to his rights and not pay him for the rest of the season.

Wonder how many Raider fans bought an AB jersey that they will never wear?

Yes, if there are behavior-related clauses to protect you.

I believe if a player gets cut during the season, they could opt to receive that year’s full salary as termination pay, but that can only happen once during your complete NFL career. However, you have to actually have played in one game that season to be eligible. If he’s suspended this Monday night, he would not be eligible to collect this year’s salary as termination pay. Boo hoo.

So he secretly taped his conversation with Gruden; what a shock. This guy clearly needs a psychological evaluation. And a drug test along with testing for CTE.

As far as I know, the only way to diagnose CTE is via autopsy. Researchers are trying to find out a test for living patients, but I do not believe we are there just yet.

In this case, “logical” left the building MONTHS ago.

Just got news he got released. I have not commented on this prior but I don't believe AB the person is going to be OK. Sad sad situation. He's got to get some help.
