AB done with football in angry tirade, rips Big Ben and Kraft.

If anything, this almost guarantees no guaranteed money in the next CBA.

Has signed with the Patriots.
Reported 1 year deal worth up to 15 million with 9 million signing bonus.
If he can't act right there then I doubt he is in league in future.
He orchestrated himself off a crap team into virtual free agency, where he signed with the Super Bowl champs.
And this will continue to happen because teams basically encourage it. He acted like a complete asshat and the news of his release had barely broke and a team snatched him up. What is going to stop other players from pulling this stunt?Β

Going to be a helluva long strike in that case...

Edelman is always a safe bet.
He's Tom's emotional support "pet"...

Sure I can...
"Guaranteed" money has been a mirage for decades. Now it's starting to be real. There's no going back.

Calls his GM a "cracker" and gets paid a $9 million signing bonus.Β
Hate to get racial, but my goodness, imagine if Mayock called AB a "N*****?" He'd be out of football forever.
Besides that, you've got to wonder if this whole thing was orchestrated by AB and Rosenhaus.

Edelman has a high floor with a much lower ceiling.Β Especially the second half of the season.Β Β

So-o-o-o-o-o-o-ooooooo
AB had a 3-year contract worth $50mm (min)/ $54mm (max) with $30mm fully-guaranteed, and then...
... trashed that to land a 1-year, $15mm contract with $10mm guaranteed-ish???
Not seeing the motivation there.
EDIT: Plus you can be sure there will be a lawsuit over at least the signing portion of the OAK contract.

Brown has made a ton of money in his career.
I'm taking a wild guess that Brown has been stewing for months about the Steelers trading him to such a nonentity as the Oakland Raiders... Stewing over the idea that the Steelers really stuck it to him.Β
So yeah, I can totally see him orchestrating this whole thing as an ultimate "Oh, you think you fucked me Pittsburgh Steelers? Well look where I am now, motherfuckers."Β
Wouldn't be the first person to cut off his nose to spite his face.Β
-
He signs with New England, and they gave him $9 million as a signing bonus.Β
Damn near an NBA move by AB.

Smells like collusion....

Bill ought to at least "tip" the Raiders a 7th rounder for them spending a 3rd and 5th to get him AB....

I don't hate the Patriots like most, but I just don't think this was anything underhanded by them.
As far as with Antonio, I honestly have no clue. I think he has real problems, not ones to be joked about. He could have been trying to get out, but doesn't explain all his behavior in Pittsburgh. I don't think he has acted the same since that vicious shot he took from Burfict

This is why I hardly give a fuck about the NFL anymore.
