Super diva WR Brown gets suspended...or not. He's playing on MNF
Antonio Brown and GM Mike Mayock got into it Wednesday, and the team is now planning to suspend its star wide receiver, league sources tell ESPN.
Adam Schefter, ESPN Senior Writer8m agWhat a cluster...
Maybe all will be forgotten if AB has an All Pro Season.
Maybe the well is already poisoned? Obviously no love lost with Mayock at this point.

All Pro Season for who?? The Raiders or someone else? The way this is going he'll be lucky to catch a ball for the Raiders. Turdwell's career will look like a deal compared to him lol.
The full guarantee in his Raiders contract exceeds $30 million.
Why anyone wanted anything to do with this clown amazes me. Think of the new helmet sponsor, they have to be thinking twice about that.
Money well spent. Good thing Chucky saved all that money from not signing Mack.
I would pay for that pay per view. Brown is in his prime, but is likely a pussy, Mayock is getting up there, but as a former defensive player he can deliver and take pain...let's make it happen, wheres don king when you need him?

Brown is 30 years his junior and a current NFL athlete.
If he loses his guarantees, the Raiders could cut him and all it would have cost the Raiders is whatever they have paid him so far ($1M?) and the pick they gave up in the trade. That's not terrible. Trading Mack was much worse. I assume there is an appeal in the works as soon as the suspension hits or as soon as the Raiders try to void the guaranteed money.
If they release him there is 0 cap hit for them, so all they lose is that 3rd round pick. Was worth it if he had not been such a diva and just played football. I don't think he wanted to go to the Raiders and that is why he is doing this. He gets released and would probably try to go to NE to stick it to the Steelers in the playoffs.
So where did all this money sit? $50M is alot of greenbacks. Did it sit in escrow somewhere waiting for the season to start? Did it get deposited in Brown's account and they now need to go after it? This is awesome. I only wished it had happened to the Packers.

I think by rule the Raiders have to put the guaranteed money in escrow. I also think the guarantees in this case were about $30M split evenly as salary between this year and next. So he would get about $1M per game. But if he is cut and all his guarantees have voided, then they do not have to pay him anything.

They should give this guy a tv show. He gets more air time than a bird.

All over.
