Antonio Brown has just been released by the Patriots
Slyder (09-20-2019)
And so who's next to get on the Antonio Brown Train? Can he accomplish the impossible and be employed by all 32 teams in one year!
I wonder if New England had any caveats about his behavior cancelling out the guaranteed money like Oakland did.

He probably thought it gave him attorney client privilege. People are dumb.

I think he’s crossed the line from eccentric to bat sh*t crazy.

NE just axed him. So he gets millions from OAK, cost them a 3rd and a 5th rounder, NE forked over 4.5 mill signing bonus plus a 5 mill cap hit.
Gotta be Dallas bound right?
Go Gators!
He never got a cent from Oakland because of antics with the helmet and the frost bite on his feet.
Right you are:

Still, losing a 2019 3rd and 5th is a lost opportunity cost - I think that's the term.
He's only going to get paid for last week and this week. No bonuses.
Meanwhile, the Patriots went from being Super Bowl favorites to, well, Super Bowl favorites.

At this point I worry about the guys mental health and hope he gets the help he needs. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to open ESPN one day and see he has committed suicide or done something else to endanger someone else’s life.
I do think CTE is very real and we are seeing it unfold in a real life tragedy. I really hope and pray I’m wrong.
No signing bonus? Why not?
EDIT...
I came up with this:

I hope he seeks help. It seems like the past 6 months he maneuvered and manipulated with the end goal of joining the Patriots and that's gone in a blink. He's burned bridges with 4 teams now (Steelers/Bills/Raiders/Patriots). I don't see any team signing him until the dust settles on this mess and I can easily see him spiraling to a bad end without football.
I believe if he kept his head down then the Patriots might have stuck with him through the investigation. Of course AB could not do that, even for his dream job.
He has lost most, if not all, of his endorsements as well. Won't receive a penny from the Raiders and it doesn't look like he will get much (comparatively) from the Pats. I hope he invested his Steeler bonus cause it might have to last him a while. Somehow I doubt it. He also has several lawsuits hanging over his head. If he wasn't such a tool, I would really feel sorry for the guy.

Maybe he should change sports. There may be an opening in the Pirates bullpen.
