I see. because hes an nba player hes supposed to like a certain kind of music. that is in no way stereotyping.

Just stop!The Patriots are going to end with him right?
For some outrageous discount too of course

We know this. What' he's saying is that why couldn't he have kept it together and not acted up at all until after week 1?

Yep. And you can buy a lot of help with $30M
i think the bipolar thing has legs. I’m familiar with it from a personal relationship & a manic episode is no joke.
the last week feels like a very massive manic episode.

Yes, all NBA players like ZAMFIR, master of the pan flute. Country music shouldn't ever be allowed in the locker rooms, it might drown out the flute.
I'm sick of the stereotypes in here.......lets at least get our facts straight.

People are crazy if they think NE wouldn’t want him. The issue will be it’s unlikely AB will want NE. They will offer him a one year deal for half what he was making and not put up with his drama. Brown will think he can get a Julio Jones deal. But the Patriots would take him at a huge discount on a short term deal.

I guess the timeline was unclear in the post I quoted. Was it intended to mean AB needed to pipe down since March? July? Last week? The past 48 hours? I inferred it to mean since the team apology and the team saying he would play Week 1.

I don't blame you.
I'm thinking Washington is out. I'd assume Jay would call his brother for a reference.

I feel attacked by this post. Why must you marginalize me for your little jokes?

It's a really weird thing to have focused on dude. I can see why you get into so many pointless slap fights here in the shark pool. Have a nice season on my ignore list, guy.

Sure. Which is why I said him keeping it together wasn't up to him. I don't know that we should blame AB for not being able to control a mental issue.
Either way, he's made a ton of money over the last decade. If he can't buy help with what he has, I'm not sure how someone making minimum wage is going to have any chance in the same situation.
My understanding is they let him apologize and said he could play Monday and then informed him his 30 million bonus was void.

As much as he would help the Saints, I can't imagine in my wildest dreams they'd bring him into their locker room.
Well, except for that game last year where he had something like 600 catches for 20,000 yards in the Superdome
Talent-wise, I can't think of a better fit for that offense, but Coach P is a get-in-your-face type.... I can't see that ending in hugs

Seriously? How is this Oakland's fault whatsoever? The team was 5000% patient and said all the right supporting things through the feet issue, the helmet issue, and even capitulated when he threatened Mayock.
This is all on AB. I have never seen this level of complete self-destruction by a player. It's clear with this behavior he doesn't want to be a Raider or in the NFL, and ever team/FO has it's breaking point.
This was completely the mentality the Steelers and the Raiders had. What makes you think AB all of the sudden becomes the model player with another team?
100%. This is truly the most deranged part, making me think there may honestly be something mentally wrong with AB that he can't move past impulsive emotion to rational decision, or that he simply wants out of the NFL.
Really sad at the waste of a season that could have been.

Driving down the road with the window down singing, "You've got to, kiss an angel good morning, and let her know you think about her when you're gone. Kiss an angel good morning and love her like the devil when you get back home".

I think technically he was only guaranteed $15 million for being on the Week 1 roster. The other $15 million is for 2020 which would have required him to either be on the roster for Week 1 of 2020, or get cut for performance/injury reasons.

first phone call Mayock makes after releasing Brown is to PIT: "JFC how did you guys do it?!?!"
PigSkinMan

That’s what makes this so bizarre. He seemed more like a typical diva/attention-seeking star WR in Pittsburgh but seemingly all of a sudden he’s sort of gone crazy over the past year or so.

I bet the Patriots sign him, I bet they are the phone right now. Bill has already talked to him, they have a deal in place. Brown set it all up to happen his way. He is a Pat, book it no doubt. Lolololol...

I subscribe to this line of thinking. unless the bipolar thing is real. but if that was real then why would it be quiet until now?
Steeler
Footballguy
Agreed. But they also wouldn't put up with his crap should AB sign with them, right?
Interseptopus

According to some, wearing a magical Pats helmet prevents you from doing any of that crap. That or Bill is a Jedi

nothing magical..it's a culture and players realize the crap they pulled on other teams will not be tolerated. Not just by the coach, but by the other players..that is the key.

Seems AB is not likely to suddenly transform into a team player for a team friendly contract, even in NE

seems to me the raiders didnt tolerate itplayers didnt either. they told mayock they support whatever he does

You keep saying 30 million but that was yanked, he was only going to make his week to week money.Let’s go mile high perspective here.
I don’t know what anyone here does for a living. I make hot sauce. It is what it is. I don’t make a lot of $ but I love what I do.
Whatever your job, no matter how much you love or hate it, would you continue to do it with your head down & mouth shut for a month to get $30M? How about a week?
I dunno about yous guys, but I’d straight up suck a D a day for a week for $30M
$30M buys a lot of mouthwash is all I’m sayin.
and I don’t think it matters how much $ you’ve got. You still want to make another $30M
all of this points to serious mental illness for AB. He’s out of control. I don’t think playing football is in his best interests right now.
That one guy
Footballguy
PITT needs a good #2, might be a decent place for AB to try and reset the narrative
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
No, original amount. If he kept it together this week. The $ was yanked because of his antics over the last week.

reading that OP, it looks like he meant to say if he had just behaved all preseason hed have had 30 million. not sure if that's true but I think its what he meant
timschochet

Question: I read that he can’t play this week no matter what, but that if he signs right away he can play next week.
But I don’t know what “right away” is. Is there a deadline? At what point does he miss next week as well if he is unsigned?

Steelers would never bring him back, no way. Raiders are more likely to bring him back than the Steelers.
