I posed this question in the shoutbox yesterday afternoon:  Would you be okay with the Bills signing AB to a one-year "prove it," deal - similar to what we did with TO?

 

No

...smart move......deserves (COUGH) a "pay as you go contract" if anything......Overdorf did that with Richie when he returned......he was paid on a "per game basis"......screw up and he gets cut with no cap implications......if he stayed upright for the entire season (which he did), there were back end incentives which he earned......damn good idea....

Problem is seems like in 90% of the time the player win's  Yes the arbitrator maybe rule in the players favor, but then Brown sues and courts don't seem to rule too often in the favor of the leagues or teams.  Too much of what is in sports leagues is legally not valid it seems.

 

I believe you for sure but this seems like a 10% one.  He’s not only causing problems in house, he’s doing it in public.  I hope that would be enough evidence...it would really say something if this wasn’t considered detrimental to the team.

What's funny is Buffalo would have gave him guaranteed money too.

And the same standard contract that he would have voided. I don't think they would have given him anywhere close to that amount guaranteed either but that's just a guess.

Why did Brown deserve a $30 million fine for missing practice? 

 

Its his his fault for not getting it cleared, but that fine is basically saying you don’t respect or value him.

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.

 

Apples and oranges there, Steelers had his rights, had to trade him for the best package available and of course the trading team had to sign him long term and fork over the cash. Lot of working pieces. 

Now if the raiders cut him, he’s a street free agent who could possibly be had for a league minimum deal on a one year rental. Almost every team in the league would take a flier on possibly the best receiver in the league despite the drama. They can cut him at any point for zero penalties.

Does AB even sign for that though? Or would he prefer to just sit at home.
