did yall see this from @MAJBobby? Guaranteed $10M, $9M was at signing..$10 M dead cap if they cut him https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/antonio-brown-6702/

Think this is where are speaking two different languages. The Pats most likely made a 2nd year option a condition up front. No second year, no deal. Now, they may have a tacit agreeemnt that thenPats will not pick it up, but right now they get to spread his signing bonus over two years. Having said that, I am sure part of the condition of the “ option” is money is guaranteed, and has to be exercised by day day 3 of league year. That is the part that is better than just tacking a second year on

agree on all that, but damn that schedule is tough, Browns @Patriots @Philly Dallas Pats @Jacksonville I can cerainly see an 0-7 out of that..and then the epic battle with the 0-7 Dolphins in week 9

wow, hope he is okay..I really like him as a player. Jets may give the Dolphins a run for their money early if Mosely is hurt ..both staring at 0-7 starts

i am taking what @MAJBobby Bobby says at heart. This is a one year prove it deal, the Pats could have made it two years with no guarantees. But the option is actually better for the player and the club. 1) Player gets to know early in league year whether he is apart of club or not..no getting cut week before the season(assume there are some guarantees with the option) 2) Club gets compensatory compensation if they move on Bills had several of these types of 1 year deals with FA's this year, this structure may be better way to go

agreed, i think they came down too hard, and i think Kraft let Goodell know that in no uncertain terms..hence the nicety nice with the Pats since then

I do think rich athletes especially have target on their back for manipulation, but lots of them also have been taught from high school the rules dont apply to them. Hard to know what is happening in any paritcular case i think unless more facts come out. Think this is where some attitudes are changing. Many women are not in the emotional state to be thinking clearly right after thus act of violence has been perpetrated upon them..and people are more understanding of that now. Having said that, how do you then prove any sex occurred, let alone whether it was consensual. Tough calls all the way around. I mean look at all the church stuff now..i know my friend was assaulted by a priest and never reported it, and yet it happened and he just recieved payment and the priest is no longer working

damn, would not want to the defendant when they in the same courtroom

wonder why more contracts are not structured this way

Me to a tee..i confess i only know the guys the media tells us about, as far from a draftnik as you can get

litlle OT, but what is the difference between a club option and a non guaranteed year 2? Is it more cap friendly somehow?

i cant make that leap..i go to the Sundowner occasionally when in town for the game...does that make me and someone who sexually assaults a woman the same?

not a prayer of that happening on the NFL side. AB can make the whole thing go away with a financial settlement, no doubt. But NFL aint gunna be a part of that ..take that to the bank

paying for handy is a whole nother world from sexual assault and rape

i think the exempt list is a good idea for the NFL.Gives them time to do their own investigation and protect the Shield a bit..before it they are in a dmaned if ya do, damned if dont situation, this gives them some time to try and get the facts as best they can

agreed, but i was shocked they did not even acknowledge it ..combine that with no statement from the league at all yet..it does make ypu wonder think this article gives a little glimpse of each side at the moment, obviously much may change https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2019/09/11/patriots-antonio-brown-rape-allegations-lawsuit

think of the position with Kraft and Goddell..since deflategate punishment 1) Nothing for Kraft and the Massage stuff 2) Gordon gets a pretty quick reinstatement 3) Nothing on Chung 4) now this if he does nothing, people start to think he making up for a wrong decision in deflategate? BTW, still nothing, NADA, from the league

I believe that

shield is more important than anything else. Those emails are enough to at least lend some credence the accusations. AB is still paid, but gives the NFL some time to interview the accuser and any associates. Not sure what it portends, but the flagship program for the league has not reported this story ar all..that is really weird

You can not like them, but human garbage is a little strong

man, usually like GMFB on NFL network..no mention of AB stuff yet..wow

why do you call them human garbage?

i am looking forward to listening to PMT later this morning, bit man Gronk looks skinny here

thought the exact same thing Sunday night
