SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Patriots failed in their contract with Antonio Brown and Bob Kraft will end up paying him $9M more https://www.yahoo.com/sports/patriots-failed-in-their-contract-with-antonio-brown-and-bob-kraft-will-end-up-paying-him-9-m-more-010018469.html The group universally expressed the belief that New England’s payout to Brown will likely happen deep into the 2020 calendar, after an exhaustive arbitration grievance that could ultimately reveal what Brown and his agents knew about a threatened sexual assault civil lawsuit prior to signing with the Patriots.One key takeaway was heavily underscored by the group: The Patriots cut Brown before he triggered any signing bonus void as described in the CBA. And that will end up being the foundational and winning point of a forthcoming grievance from Brown and the NFL Players Association.As one source put it, “[New England] fighting to keep that signing bonus now is either a gross misunderstanding of [the CBA’s] rules on voiding signing bonuses or it’s just out of spite. I can’t believe they don’t understand the signing bonus voids in the CBA. There’s just no way. This is just spitefulness. They’re fighting [Brown] completely out of the anger and embarrassment in ownership.” Report: Robert Kraft decided to cut Antonio Brown, Tom Brady disagrees Patriots quarterback Tom Brady pointedly refused to reveal his personal feelings about the team’s decision to cut Antonio Brown, but behind the scenes he reportedly disagreed with it. Tom E. Curran of NBCSportsBoston.com reports that Brady is not happy that Brown got cut, as Brady viewed Brown as a uniquely talented receiver who would make an enormous difference to the Patriots’ offense. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/report-robert-kraft-decided-cut-193600208.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, Kraft never interferes in football ops, this might be the first time that I remember. Belichick went too far with AB and Kraft had to pull the plug, otherwise the league would have.

Rochesterfan Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) 6 minutes ago, bbb said: Will that money count against the Pats cap? Yes it currently counts and will continue to count until the arbitration is over. If Brown wins the money stays on the books. If the Pats win they get credited for the money on the next cap. The most likely time frame will not see final resolution until sometime mid to late 2020. They could also come to an agreement and settle the case.
