That’s fair, but the comp here would be if TO got tossed out of Philly..... then got tossed out by Dallas.

Off topic, but I feel like "overated" and "draft bust" are two different things.

offered Gary Jennings for AB to see if I can get a bite. why not

Damn you, autocorrect! :shakesfist:I like the typo.
But Smith was a 4th round pick who ended up making the All Rookie team and averaged 4.9 YPC. I don't think he was overrated; he was just another stupid kid who couldn't figure out how to stay clean long enough to get a pension.
IIRC he declared himself the steal of the draft, as well.

You mean like how he got tossed out by SF for similar comp as AB was by Pitt?

Serious answer. Ask yourself, “what’s the last guy on my roster I would miss if he tore his Achilles tomorrow and never played another down?”
Then offer the guy one below that.

Also super totally illegal, since California is a two-party state and both parties must consent to being recorded.
Technically, legally speaking, John Gruden could sue Antonio Brown in civil court for privacy violation.

Don’t know if anyone has said this but I’ll go ahead and confirm. Antonio Brown is bipolar. It’s documented and all 32 teams had it. That is an issue that I don’t ever want to deal with because sometimes players won’t take their meds. It’s clear he isn’t on his meds now.

I did not know he was bipolar and that his condition is/was known by every team.
This can be a very serious mental condition.
If you've known anyone who has had this and how they have acted out then it all makes sense.
This is sad.

Which makes Leaf look even worse, because he was the ultimate example of both in at least the Super Bowl era.
Quite a few said he was better than Peyton Manning...
I agree. If this football thing doesn't work out for Brown there are some cabinet positions open. He might be a good fit. Secretary of Offense.

AB has only burned through one of the incompetent franchises. He could still go to the Jets, Bengals and Redskins and blow up those locker rooms on his wild ride out of the NFL.
Brown and Harbaugh would be “must see” TV.
While a bit less “intense” than his brother, John’s not exactly an enabler.

I offered up my Josh Gordon for his Antonio in redraft. Was told I was drunk and it was a ridiculously low-ball offer. I think I'd have major buyer's remorse right now had he accepted it.

Offered him Curtis Samuel and he said no. Not touching him if that’s a no. Samuel was my WR4/5 if it helps others.

$15. He could escape the Raiders and land in a good spot where he could be a league winner. If he busts that amount of money down the drain shouldn't kill you.

If this is true, then this whole thing is just sad. BPD is really really difficult and wrecks so many lives. If that's what's going on, a lot of this actually makes way more sense. Why his behavior has changed so much, why the Steelers shipped him out, and possibly why the Raiders are handling things like they are. Rather than internal strife, the team could be doing their best to try to help Brown while also doing what they have to do to protect themselves at the same time.
If someone is in a bad manic phase, it's almost impossible to get them to be rational. They think that everything is everybody else's fault and think that they will come out on top no matter what. If the Raiders know that he's mentally ill and that's what's causing this behavior, I could see trying to downplay everything as much as possible and trying to keep the door open for him while also doing what you have to do to protect themselves. So far, while they have fined him, they've done it quietly and been nothing but supportive publicly.
If he does have BPD and it is well known, I hope that Brandon Marshall reaches out to him. Marshall had his own struggles and very public meltdowns but had a great turnaround once he got treatment and stayed on his medications. He has been a great advocate for mental health issues.

The point of the article is that the Raiders have rights to block AB’s earning potential all year IF he doesn’t show up.
By far AB’s financially best option right now is to show up Monday night ready to play. AB doesn’t seem like a guy who’s following any of his best options at the moment but I’m sure Rosenhaus will try hard to convince him to show up. If this circus seems bizarre now, imagine how it would feel unfolding live Monday night with an insanely pissed off AB on the Raiders sideline in uniform

Haha, we very well might be in a league together. If we are, same owner offered me that same trade in a sister league (Leatherheads). Debating on accepting it...

He demanded to be cut.
He said he won’t play on a week-to-week contract.
he already tried to physically attack the GM, and that’s *before* he messed with his $30M
what a cluster.

As a vested veteran your full season salary is guaranteed if active roster week 1.
Anyone else think it's ironic that as the main story of the morning (on the NFL channel) is that AB is spiraling and the circus continues, that the crawler below and other big story of the day, is that Julio Jones, who could be the total opposite of AB, as far as personality, behavior, and person as a whole, is signing a bigger contract, (per year anyway)?
Good for you Julio!

Yeah, IF he doesn't show up. That applies to every player in the league.
Yet the URL is Raiders can cut AB AND stop him from playing for another team. It's click bait BS.

Yeah, dynasty. I'm 99% sure we're in that league together based on anecdotal evidence. Rich getting richer, I think he's won the last couple of years running

Just got offered Curtis Samuel in Dynasty PPR, but don't think I can pull the trigger. Have crowd sourced the offer on Twitter and early poll results are about 75% prefer Samuel and/or have no interest in Brown at any price, with 20% preferring Brown.
