Correct. He simply grew a huge ego and has totally gone nuts. He's high on himself. There's no CTE. That would not arise this quickly.
I really don't get what the trade deadline has to do with anything. Teams are waiting to see if AB ends up on the exempt list or gets suspended. They won't know his status or availability before the trade deadline in a few days. Teams would want Brown because he would be an upgrade at WR for every team in the league (at least on the field). Teams may elect not to pursue him for his off field antics, but there is no denying he has value based on his play.
You're probably right, I also think it's a psychological issue. But he probably started playing football as a kid, so he may have had decades of exposure.
As soon as he signs with a team he could ( probably would IMO) get put on the Commissioner's Exempt list where he would still get paid. A team could try to structure a contract to deal with that but it would have to pass muster with both the league and the NFLPA. It's probably more trouble/drama that most teams would not want to have to deal with.
For WR needy teams looking for a trading partner is the clearest and cleanest path to acquire a player. Possible WR options still available and being floated are AJ Green and Robbie Anderson. If a needy team can't cut a deal then the only real option post trade deadline is AB or even Dez Bryant.
I don't know how a team could get past the PR nightmare after signing Brown. There is just too much negative info out there on him now with sexual assault leading the way. He needs to go away and get some distance between his recent actions. Obviously if he is found guilty of the assault he is done.
No team has Robbie Anderson as Plan A, and Antonio Brown as Plan B. C'mon now.
Dez Bryant
, I can't believe people are holding this guy. 
Who said anyone was holding Dez Bryant?Dr. Dan said:Dez Bryant
I doubt AB signs for cheap, and a team like GB or NO either doesnt have the cap space or has other uses for that cap by rolling it over to 2020
As long as nobody is saying anything nice about him I'm all for this thread.
Definitely. The Raiders gave up a 3rd and 5th and got absolutely nothing in return. If AB would have lived up to his commitment to the Raiders and not been such a jerk he would still be playing. AB manipulated his way out of Pittsburgh and Oakland by being a selfish XXX. He didn't give a crap about his teammates or his fans so it is hard for me to feel any sympathy for the guy.
Looks like he's in a good place mentally.
He had one on insta this morning that was along the same lines but a little different. Still had F the nfl in it, but minus the racial tones. Looks like he took it down now.
Didn't he say he'd never play again before signing with the Patriots?
Yes this stinking league was paying him tens of millions of dollars to play a game and opportunity to makes millions more in endorsements. All he had to do was stay out of trouble and perform at game time.
Agree 100% and I also seriously believe it’s because of Burfict. That hit was brutal!!
Surprised that CTE possibility is not discussed more with AB. Someone who really cares about his general mental health and emotional well being needs to reach out to him and drive him to a Neurologist, today.
He's been an idiot since 2012. $ turned him into a ####.
This is a lucid, well thought-out, intelligent and coherent post. As someone that has followed AB's tweets I find it hard to believe that he composed this one.
Maybe he put it together himself or, more likely, he agreed to let someone else do it for him. I think either implies some improved decision making by him.
