...for little to no guaranteed money. 

 

 

THIS. He will get NOWHERE near the money he was getting in Oakland. Plus nobody will give him a guarantee like that again.

 

 

Oh and mostly:

How anyone can see his point of view after everything he's done starting with week 17 last year is beyond me. You're not owned when getting paid $50M over a 3 year span to play a game.

 

What has he done? He didn’t show up for practice and walk through? He felt like the team didn’t appreciate him. That his hard work and dominant play, weren’t enough. The “man” that does get to do whatever he wants is a multiple time accused rapist and generally unpleasant guy, is carried around on the shoulders of the team. Can you see the thread here starting to form a pattern? 

 

He works his tail off in the offseason, gets himself into insane shape, and is clearly the best player on the Raiders, and then after STANDING BY HIM, they fine him. The money isn’t the issue, it’s the principle behind the money. Gruden said “can you just stop this ***** and play football”. Clearly it’s more than money he is after. Clearly he wants to be VALUED not paid. He doesn’t want to just be paid, he wants to be treated like a great player and be given leeway and appreciation for his hard work and effort. If by some miracle he played on Monday Night, he could easily haul in 10 for 200 and 2 scores, and that’s after all this drama. He’s a special player, and feels like he should be treated that way. 

 

I dont think that’s so crazy really. It just seems that way because his dispute is read by millions of people and broadcast across the world.

I will admit...this terrifies me

Haha!  Was thinking the same thing. Ok so can he be ready to suit up for the pats against the Steelers for Monday night ?  Somehow the NFL management types, pressured to win at all costs, always allow these personality types to keep having chance after chance after chance. I really wouldn’t  be shocked if he ends up a Pat. Who else could even think about taking this on; only the Pats have personalities in place that still dwarf AB and his distorted self value.

This made me choke on my coffee. Don't you think the Steelers were looking to trade him for more than they finally accepted from the Raiders? Why didn't Pittsburg get more in compensation? No one wants a headache this big. Except maybe Andy Reid. who did sign T.O. But your talking about a player that is throwing his entire team and organization under the bus....2 days BEFORE the beginning of the season. A lot more teams will let him float on the waiver wire than line up to acquire his services.

 

 

Why didn’t the Texans get more for clowney? He clearly threatened to not report to most teams reducing his value. 

 

The team took away 30 mil in guarantees 2 days before the season because he missed practice. They knew what they were getting into and they deserve this.
