So he fleeces the Raiders by pulling these antics; walks away with their money, and doesn't have to play if he doesn't want to. As I've already opined, AB doesn't really even want to play football anymore. Hate to see him "win" with these tactics, but that's exactly what happened.

But didn't he lose all the money from the Raiders because of the fines and clauses?

I think he means that if Brown could live with Mayocks discipline and rules, how would he live with BBs that is apparently much more strict.

 

Personally I think that many can live with BBs discipline/rule because it can usually lead to a championship. He was in Oakland for the money, NE can give him the chance to win while showing others he can play nice. Sometimes guys like him need the harder discipline to change then a place that might be more LAX like Oakland. If players see that they can run the show like it looks like there, they tend to take more advantage of it and assume they should get their way.

 

Or...they respect him as a coach.  Do you think anyone on that Raiders has a lot of respect for Mayock in that position?  I'm sure they view him as a lightweight.  I bet a lot of the Raiders right now think Mayock totally blew this whole situation and now AB, their only offensive weapon (and hope) is gone.

Except he doesn't get the money.

They didn’t pay him anything

You totally misread my post.  My point is that Belicheck is the ultimate disciplinarian.  So if AB couldn't deal with Mayock's attempts to hold him accountable (i.e. fines), how could one expect that AB would want to play for Belicheck.

 

Because they don't respect Mayock as an authority figure of any kind because he's not?

Methinks you're missing a very important comma in that sentence?

 

Also dying to know who's hating on "homesexuals" that's even been mentioned in this thread, but I have a feeling you won't be around long enough to tell me...just a guess.

I don't get it, are they just sexually attracted to homes? Or are they only turned on by making love at home?

What. An. Idiot. 

There is a never-ending list of guys who end up with a golden lottery ticket for life called an NFL roster spot...and yet chose to throw it in the toilet and flush.

I could see anyone in the NFC West signing him.

 

Seattle

Rams

49ers

Cardinals

 

In that order of likelihood

Seahawks have 9 million - too little cap if they need to sign anyone else

Rams have 2 million - too little cap

49ers - 21 million cap I could see this

Cardinals - 2 million OVER the cap. Not happening

 

 

I think it could be:
 

Bears - Makes the most sense: ready to win now and 0 receivers outside a past his prime Robinson

Cowboys - It has Jerry Jones written all over it: Ready to win now

Lions - Patricia could steal a move from the Belichick playbook

Bills - Not really likely. Has proven hes the opposite of a process guy, but they had interest earlier and if the rest of the team is bought in, maybe they can handle one locker room cancer

How is he able to walk away with their money? He hasnt played a down. Maybe he got a work out bonus but he missed a lot of practice and workouts. He isnt getting any of his guarantees or salary. I would think the Raiders could go after him to recoup any money they have given him.
