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

Fri 11 am.......
14 hours agoThe Oakland Raiders are not planning to have wide receiver Antonio Brown for Week 1 against the Broncos on Monday night, according to sources. However, it's not clear if it's a suspension or if the Raiders will just make him inactive. Brown is likely to stay away from the team. This situation has gone from bad to worse in a hurry, and it's unknown if this team-imposed suspension will go beyond Week 1. You can begin to make plans to be without Brown in fantasy for the season opener. As a result, Tyrell Williams, Hunter Renfrow and J.J. Nelson should be in on three-receiver sets against Denver. Tight end Darren Waller should see more targets as well and will be worth a look as a sleeper TE2.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

And he's back...
Gruden just announced that AB is practicing and will play in Game 1...
You're saved by the bell Tour. I wonder how long and hard they had to kiss AB's ass to "smooth things over".
I've been asked many times to join a Fantasy League, and it's not in my cards. I have no interest in it, and I spend way too much time on the board keeping the inmates in line here.
Charlie Casserly made an interesting comment on NFL Network... basically it was around...
"Why is Mayock in the middle of this? In all my years as a GM I never signed a disciplinary letter to a player... never suspended a player... and never spoke about either to the press. That is the job of the HC. It's his roster."
Man has a point. Gruden seems to want to be the good cop.

Actually h, reports are more that AB did the ass-kissin'... "emotional apology to the team this morning" and that type stuff.
I know he had over 30mm "reasons" to pucker up...

Man, although who the hell knows what the truth is but if stuff is correct this makes Mayock look so weak. According to reports, AB used racial language and overtly threatened to punch him in the face. To not suspend a dude for that sets a terrible precedent.

Raiders released him!

I’m not sure l ever recall a more bizarre sequence of events. Even tops Josh Gordon and his jive ass jivery.

There's no way Bill would want to deal with this BS.
Moss... Ocho Cinco... Dillon... yeah no history of dealing with "difficult" players.
And here's the thing, h... Bill doesn't "deal" with BS... he "explains it" to his guys and is backed by his entire locker room. What team is better equipped to handle AB?
Combine that with an incentive laden contract and it's a no-brainer.

Ha, rolling one game contract, with no guarantees.

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.

NE is the new old Raiders for reclaiming nutjob players.......how ironic that this one got booted by the Raiders.
And the soap opera continues, minus the $30,000,000 guaranteed money.
