Mr. WEO Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 3 minutes ago, Doc said: Good old WEO logic. With Belichick, players respect him as a coach, but AB went crazy because he couldn't respect Mayock as a GM. It's not at all on your boy Gruden now, is it? Yeah but AB won't pay. I think that Gruden would have to agree to that. When he was still a Raider, I didn't think he would. Now... I think Gruden was definitely doing the good cop,,,,,because he HAS to. He's got nothing else on offense. Wouldn't that be logical take? I'm sure Gruden talked Mayock off the ledge and made AB do this "public apology" to get him on the field SUnday. But then AB took it next kevel again. 3 minutes ago, Doc said: He's crazy. He just cost himself $30M, which he will never see again. If any team does sign him, it will likely be after week 1 so that they can pay him on a per-game basis. And not for $1M/game like he was making. And why did he want nothing to do with Oakland after agreeing to be traded there? The guy is just crazy. He watched some Carr….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown fails to realize that his behavior in all this will damage his chances of getting signed anywhere, let alone a lucrative contract Perhaps, but what if his motive throughout this has been to leave the game of football? He may not care about any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I like how AB can throw a racist slur at Mayock and nothing is made of it. If Mayock had done the same to AB, it would be headline news, Mayock would be fired, and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be in an uproar. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StHustle Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 9 minutes ago, apuszczalowski said: But isn't an agent's contract based off of a percentage of the total contract? They may agree to take money paid at certain points of the deal, but I doubt they are contingent on the client having to fulfill it. Thats doesnt make sense. Why would an agent make money off part of a contract that isnt paid out because you got released early? No player would be ok with that. Agents get paid based on what the players actually receive from the club. Period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I'm not sure he signs anywhere any time soon. He's been too erratic. But if he is picked-up I would bank on: Seattle, New England or the Jets. Seattle and NE because they have signed troubled players before and both teams have a need at the position. The Jets because they like flashy toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yav Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up in NE and is the model citizen. I think once he got to Oakland and saw how crappy that team was he just put this act on to get out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 7 minutes ago, Nextmanup said: Have a look at Ryan Leaf's tweet from yesterday I think. He said AB doesn't want to play football anymore. Leaf knows because he went through the same thing and acted in the same manner. That's his take on this at least. It may be that, it may be more general personality disorder, hits to the head may be involved too. But AB is clearly not thinking clearly these days. Thing with Ryan Leaf was, he couldn't cut it in the NFL. Antonio Brown is a HOF caliber WR that's 31 and has played now 9 seasons. The question is, why does he work so hard his entire career and arrive at this point if this is true? Why does he force his way out of Pittsburgh and then do the same in Oakland? Why does he sign that contract? Something is not right there. And I refuse to use the word "crazy" because it denotes something people don't truly understand. He just needs help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to compare himself & his situation to AB is just laughable. Leaf is only known from how much of a bust he was, his opinion on AB is almost on the same level as one of us lol. Me personally i dont think AB is crazy. He didnt beat up his girlfriend or do anything like that. The feet injury & helmet issues were distractions for sure, but could be rationalized. Just the media jumps all over stories involving players as big as he is. AB mos def doesnt help his situation with how he reacts, especially in todays world. But i wouldnt call him crazy per se.
