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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. 11 minutes ago, Maximus* said: I believe Jets have the cap space to fit AB in. Would I want him? As much of a drama queen as he is, I think I would give this a shot. 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? 9 minutes ago, JohnnyU said: All he had to do is make it to week 1 and the 30M was his. He could then act up all he wants and still have the money. This shows how stupid he is. I don't think I've ever read about anyone being this stupid. 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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How can anyone be that dumb? Especially because that was the reason he wanted out of Pittsburgh, or was it really? 24 hours. He needed 24 hours. He couldn’t keep it together for 24 hours for $30M. It amazing. 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
