I’ll tell you what kind of report it was: a chickens.h.i.t report. On many levels. Not the least of which is if the Bucs chose this way to put a player on notice instead of telling him directly and in private. 

 

 

Nah. It's of legit interest. He's got a source. It's completely reasonable. If he thought the source was good, there isn't a reporter around who wouldn't go with that story. And for good reason.

 

If you want to say some of what the Bucs appear to be doing may be chickenshit, I won't argue, certainly until we get a better sense of how the deliberations turn out anyway.

Yeah, if the league were actually considering expanding to 40 teams and a source you trusted told you that, it would be the same type of report.

 

Since they're not considering it, and I don't think a trusted source told him that, no, not the same at all.

 

Same guy said they were...he cited a trusted source.

Is this the first time you've heard of Antonio Brown?

He is no doubt, but we could use one more for sure. Look at TB and KC.

I am considering becoming a rich and buying a yacht.  I have a feeling both my consideration, and Tampa Bay's consideration will end up the same way.   A whole lot of nothing.

[Logic]

I haven't read through this thread, but...

They absolutely SHOULD release him. What he did is a federal offense. Aside from that, he put everyone with whom he came in contact -- including his head coach who has twice survived cancer -- at unnecessary and unfair risk.

If he were a marginal player, he would have been released already. Because he's so productive and important to the offense, and probably because of his relationship with Brady, they're probably gonna end up keeping him around. His importance to the efforts to win another Lombardi will trump justice and decency in this instance, I fear.

[Rigotz]

They have already proven that they don't care about character by signing him.

The guy is an absolute scumbag and continues to be.

 

Saying you're "considering" releasing him is worse than doing nothing because you're clearly pretending to care.

[FilthyBeast]

I would sign Brown in a heartbeat if he was released but he already declined coming here and pretty sure that would still be the case.

Considering Brown is a favorite of Tom Brady and was killing it before he got hurt I simply don’t think they are going to cut him in the midst of a chance for a Super Bowl.

[TheFunPolice]

ZERO chance they cut him.

 

This is just pressure from the media, because how could you "consider cutting him" but decide not to? Based on what? 

 

If it's just about talent and keeping Tommy happy then you don't even consider cutting him. No story. 

 

But the media is going to put the pressure on and make it look like there's some sort of deliberation in an attempt to force the issue.

Brady will step in and say no

[HalftimeAdjustment]

After careful consideration they will settle for a stern talking-to.

Honestly, being released may be the least of his worries. Getting caught using a fake Vaccination Card is a felony and he could face jail time over it.

I assumed in Florida one would get a tax credit or at least a lollipop for a phony vax card.
