Especially since he’s on a week to week contract and you can fine him if he doesn’t show up. Conclusion: someone told them to release him, so they did.

Sandhill Mike Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Not surprised in the least. We all KNEW that's where he'd wind up but that doesn't guarantee them anything. I still don't want him on our team, even if it meant keeping him away from the Patriots. They can have him. I'd much rather like the guys we pull for every week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven233 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I'm sorry, but you will never convince me that there wasn't some kind of tampering involved here before Brown was released. Definitely some back-channel stuff happening. I mean, he wasn't even eligible to talk with other teams until 4:00pm. You are telling me that that Pats* and Brown wee able to draw up a $15 million contract that was agreeable to both parties, get the papers sent and signed, etc. in 45 minutes? Come on now. This absolutely stinks or collusion, tampering, cheating, and whatever else you want to call it. You all know what is happening next, right? Gronk is going to be coming out or his "retirement" in the next week or 2 to just top all this crap off. That said, I just picked up Gronk off the waiver wire in my fantasy league to pair with Brown and Brady who I already had..... May as well get something good out of this garbage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthomas Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 8 minutes ago, RyanC883 said: except the Steelers said they would trade him to NE. NE now has him for free. There was talk from AB's agent that said they'd be open to trading him to New England, but all official news from Pittsburgh was mute on it. All they said was that they would prefer him not to be in the AFC North or the Patriots. It came out later that New England gave them a better offer than the Raiders did, but that they sent him to Oakland so as not to face off against him. Theres tons of articles out there on it where i could post a bunch of links, but i'll just pick this one. https://heavy.com/sports/2019/03/patriots-antonio-brown-trade-offer-raiders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will not be the reason the Patriots win or lose. That team will still go as Brady goes. If Brady regresses then throwing inaccurate deep balls to Brown isn’t going to make a difference. There is definitely truth to this. At least until Gronk un-retires in week 3. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can’t recognize why NE is completely different than Buffalo, I really have no idea what to tell you. 15-17 and Josh Allen vs. 6 SBs, Belichick, and Brady. AB will be cut if he farts in a meeting. In Buffalo and Oakland, would have to kiss his butt and he’d still pull crap. Different leagues homeboy. This is why I believe “The Process” is a buzzword.

They could have also worked toward making him sit the entire season without pay. instead they just showed every player that accountability and their rules dont mean ***** which is never a good thing for any organization... so yeah they made a dumb move by trading for him and continued to make dumb moves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
