AB asks Raiders to release him on Instagram (update: Raiders oblige and release him)

I wonder what's the age of the ones defending him. Millenial thought process. 'Oh I can his POV", "he's a victim", "no matter the money he's treated harshly like an employee"...

 

You are little precious princesses, aren't you.  99.9% of players in the NFL can grind it out - and almost all for less money - but somehow that poor little diva is a 30 million victim??? You guys need a dose of real life if you think AB has it that rough!

Stop.  They tried to trade for him in the first place.  

 

Beane got completely lucky that he hated the thought for playing for the Bills.  Stop trying to change the narrative. It’s disingenuous.

Wrong.  Beane looked into him and decided not to pay him.  There was no luck at all.

I don’t quite understand what’s going on.

 

what if he plays Monday and blows out his knee? The raiders can just release him and owe him nothing further? 

Right now he has $0 earned from the Raiders so he would get his game check from Monday if he dressed.

He's not going to play for the Raiders.

Why do we assume he’s mentally ill?

 

He is by far the best WR in the game at the moment. 

 

He had had a legitimate beef with Big Ben, and the Steelers made a choice with him, and gave him what he wanted. 

 

He hurts his feet, the NFL makes him

comply with their uniform rules based more on endorsement money than actual safety, and the Raiders (in their way) embraced the media hurricane that came with it. 

 

Then they fined him after “standing by him”. 

 

From his point of view, nothing has changed for him. He’s still “owned” by someone; and those someone’s still don’t appreciate what he does or what he brings. 

 

Im not saying i agree with him, but i can certainly understand his point of view.

I feel like you are just as crazy as he is for feeling sorry for him. The guy has made more in a few short years than most people will make in their lives. 

 

It’s all his own fault for being an egomaniac that thinks he’s better than his team, teammates, and the game itself. It’s not about proving a point that someone owns him. He’s delusional. He had an interview that he said he doesn’t need football, that football needs him. That’s all I ever needed to hear to know I didn’t want this jackass. 

 

If hes released, I don’t see him being picked up by anyone. At least not right away. It’ll wait until some SB hungry team loses their number 1 WR. And well after Brown has had time to think about his failures in this situation.

Yeah, so as a technical matter I think AB was already in breach with loss of the guarantee as of when he first missed practice. The contract, or what remains of it, would now have to be amended to reinstate the guarantee, otherwise it's gone for good. I think the Raiders FO and Gruden have known where they were going with this. Gruden is probably playing his own sinister game of hardball with AB "Sure you are welcome to play Monday night, and get paid, only without the guarantee. Have a nice day, dufus."

If the language surrounding the guarantee is not standard boilerplate, and is special to AB, then it looks to me that the Raiders protected themselves very well. Maybe AB's agent could have done a better job protecting his client (and himself) given who he was representing.

Just because a narrative was put out there doesn’t mean it’s true... 

 

Wawrow has never backed down from criticizing the Bills when warranted...pretty sure he knows what really happened

Why didn’t you answer the question that was asked. Yes if he is injured he gets nothing. Why would he risk that?

Pretty sure I answered both. 

 

He's not getting paid anything now. 

 

He would get paid his game check if he plays on Monday. 

 

What did I miss?

Ratings and attention.  

 

Now Gruden is going to look even worse; he should have backed his GM, but chose Brown thus undermining Mayock.   Now Brown has betrayed him again.

 

Seahawks, Chiefs or Patriots.  

This just made me think. Gruden is one sly dog. Maybe he’s the one trying to get fired. After all, he has a contract with partial ownership doesn’t he? Lol
