While I’m glad he’s not our headache, I also don’t think this would be going as bad if he was in Buffalo as I have that much more confidence in Beane and McD than I do in Gruden and Mayock.  I love watching Gruden on Hardknocks, he’s fun to watch, but I don’t think the combo of those two can hold a candle to our combo in terms of running an organization on and off the field.

I’m glad Ryan Leaf got his life in order but I’m not quite sure why he thinks he knows what’s going on inside AB’s head.

Because he is paid to give his opinion.  In this instance I agree with him.  I think Brown has been finding new ways not to play football all the way back to last season.

So I have mixed feelings on this

 

Brandon Beane actually tried to trade for this fool

 

but as luck would have it.....fate decided we have taken enough of a beating and past us over

 

The Bills chose not to agree to his contract demands.  Good move on their part.

I doubt it would have gone much different with the Bills. And that's why I didn't want him in the first place.  It's not worth the gamble given the money involved.

Remember when half the Board expected a move for AB to be the missing puzzle piece to get us over the top and credibility nationally? Ah yes, those were the days :beer:

 

I was on the fence about it. Luckily I didn't fall over.

If the Raiders cut Brown, I hope nobody touches him.

 

No way do they release him outright.  The Raiders can recoup the cap space for his guaranteed salary one game at a time by keeping him suspended.  (Also they don’t have to pay it to him.)  That'd be $914k per game for anyone counting.  Two years worth of salary is guaranteed at that.

At this point, cutting him is probably worth it, but I think realistically they have a genuine chance of cutting him and not paying him a dime by arguing that this whole thing was a breach of contract and that AB acted in bad faith. DJ mentioned something about that on their podcast yesterday, this just heightens it... It'll be really interesting...

He's probably noticing the warning signs NOW that he couldn't see while living them THEN...seems to "get it" about life these days compared to when he was playing.  I'm sure he doesn't think he knows what is going on in AB's head but he's making a guess based on his own career suicide.
