I share the thoughts as stated above.
I was surprised when Mayock took the position as Raider's GM. I have always liked Mayock, but he may take the biggest & hardest fall in this fiasco. Time will tell.

I think Gruden wanted AB. He should take the hit for him.

I agree, but I'm bettin' he doesn't! Mayock's the "fall guy".

It might, but you can't blame the owners for it.
If there's a strike, it's because the economic "pie" of the NFL has been tilted very much in favor of the owners since the last CBA.
Nothing on this thread touches on the serious items.
"Guaranteed" money has been a mirage for decades, and there's nothing in the CBA preventing guaranteed deals. FYI, there's nothing in the MLB or NBA CBA that requires them. At present the only player in the NFL on a fully guaranteed contract is Kirk Cousins.. if more players structured their deal that way, guaranteed deals would be more common.
The more labels you have for yourself, the dumber they make you. "When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less." Paul Brown -
On another note...
How did the Raiders void his guarantees? $1mm was gone due to missing camp time over feet and helmet "issues", but the other $29mm-ish??? Earlier reports said if they suspended him then it was all gone, but doesn't seem like that happened. So...????
Complaining publicly about the added fine for the confrontation with Mayock seems to have been another straw, but I have a feeling it was the posting of his phone convo with Gruden that was the final one. Jon just couldn't trust him after that.
How did the Raiders void his guarantees?
On Friday they fined him $215,073.53 for conduct detrimental to the team.
When a player is fined for conduct detrimental to the team, all guaranteed monies from their current contract are removed.. thus from that moment forward they are playing on a week-to-week contract.

Never, under any circumstances, do you fully guarantee a contract with a contractor. That's just for starters.
Between double dipping on contracts and destroying team caps, the only way to protect yourself is very short term contracts if you're an owner.
So players can't be guaranteed and have long term contracts. It's impossible. It would be like franchise tagging an entire league every year.
If the players win on one end, they'll lose on the other. They have to decide what they want because they can't have both.

Where the F--- did Antonio go? He just knocked over the Gatorade Tom; and now he's on Twitter.
Antonio you just missed a very important meeting about this week's game plan. I wouldn't say "I MISSED IT" Tom. Why? Who we playing?
AB we come to practice here in Camelot! Who's we?
Did you hear my audible AB? Yeah Tom, didn't you see how much I disagreed with it? No, AB I was a little busy wearing Myles Garrett and Larry Ogunjobi while you were taking selfies.
Why did you stop in the middle of your route AB? My helmet was annoying me. Can I borrow your helmet Tom and Giselle while we're at it here?
Perhaps you've heard Bill Belichick doesn't allow "I before team." That might be in your contract Tom; but he did sign "me before team." If you'll excuse me, Josh Gordon and I have a picnic to attend while you guys are practicing. Let me get this straight you 2 knuckleheads are blowing off practice? Tom, didn't you hear Bill say he didn't want any distractions? We're honoring that. You seem to forget the only guy that can cover me is Adam Schefter. We'll be ite...
Antonio, why are you taking off your pads? It's overtime. If I charged the Patriots overtime Tom - we'd be way over the cap Tom. Now you got me using the word we and putting team first. You really are F---ing magic!

I didn't realize that AB is 31 years old. He an old mofo.

That's why I hope he stayed in pizzburgh he's peaked and starting to show some injuries besides his behavior issues.

That is so clear cut obvious. You'd think shenanigans like this are worthy of some sort of investigation or punishment by the NFL.

Well at least the Steelers are getting their taints handed to them.

They couldn't without eating a big helping of dead money- I think. Doubt anyone would have wanted his contract either. OTOH, cutting him "for conduct detrimental to the team" voided his guaranteed contract. It did make him instantly a FA, but he had pissed off everyone in the Raiders organization so badly they just wanted him gone.
I'm not the only one who thinks AB pulled this stunt on purpose. Amazingly shady that he was signed by the Patriots within hours of being released.

Did you see the video of him getting the word he was released? There’s no doubt it was planned. You could say fixed or rigged too. The whole thing sure does stink and should not be allowed. Good example for the kids. If you don’t get what you want, cry and quit until you do. The whole league is going jello
