He's a loose cannon and he thinks he's above management. This is the NFL, where rapists, killers, common criminals, and general sociopaths find refuge regularly.

Leaf said he knows b/c he went through the same thing and behaved in exactly the same manner. So it looks like AB got what he wanted. At least according to Leaf. I hope it’s as simple as that. But this self destructive path to get there is concerning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Binghamton Beast said: Gruden is the biggest loser here. He took the side of Brown and has some serious egg on his face. That's interesting. Gruden's looked like a train wreck since he got there. When he was a broadcaster I thought he was entertaining but that his coaching career was hyped all out of proportion with reality. He deserves credit for the Super Bowl win, but no one ever called Mike Ditka a great coach, and he won a Super Bowl, too. All in a great, bizarre tradition known as the Davis family Raiders.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I think he'll get signed within a week. Likely teams will wait a day or two so not to find out in hindsight they were bidding against themselves, plus after tomorrow contract not guaranteed for season. Will be a modest one year, prove it deal, $10 mil and maybe $3 to $4 mil signing bonus. Likely teams will check with the NFL first to find out if suspension is looming as that could slow things down. Can the NFLPA represent an unsigned player? That would be like asking them to represent me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaf said he knows b/c he went through the same thing and behaved in exactly the same manner. So it looks like AB got what he wanted. At least according to Leaf. The video suggests he knows completely well that he might not play again and if he does he wants to do it on his terms fully. Which doesn’t play well in the nfl obviously but i guess when you have F off money, I guess you can tell people to F off if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's gonna happen. Point #1: If he's on a team's roster for week 1, as a vested vet his salary is guaranteed, unless there's explicit language to the contrary. Since Brown's "line in the sand" asking for release is that Oak apparently said they were seeking to void his guarantee along with the $215,000 fine for screaming at Mayock, calling him a cracker, and threatening to punch him in the face, he can hardly agree to that latter without huge "loss of face" Point #2: NE Offense is all about "Get In the Playbook". Which takes more than 48 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The genius in this mess is the team that signs him, and somehow finds a way to make him behave like a gentleman and simply play football on a high level. That helps out all parties involved. The situation in Oakland was a failure on all sides by all parties and no one wins there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be an odd question for a UDFA who was never signed to anything, but he is a vested veteran who is clearly covered by the CBA I would think.
