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. Mike I think Gruden wanted AB. He should take the hit for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he couldn't keep it down to even make week 1, after scoring $30 mill in guaranteed cash (if he just shows up) then when will he ever stop being a petulant child and douchebag? When? Where?

Gunz41 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Has signed with the Patriots. Reported 1 year deal worth up to 15 million with 9 million signing bonus.

Tour2ma Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 $15mm, Bob.... $10mm "guaranteed" for one year... LMFAO!!! Unfortunately he's ineligible Week 1 vs da Steelers. Anyone wanna bet me he's not returning punts Week 2? As in... I have the side that says he is? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Bob806 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Calls his GM a "cracker" and gets paid a $9 million signing bonus. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 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.

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. 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." Wouldn't be the first person to cut off his nose to spite his face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunz41 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
