But if he is cut and all his guarantees have voided, then they do not have to pay him anything.    

With our luck he'd end-up in the NFC North...

 :p 

...in purple...

Rumor is that Brown called Mayock some hardcore shit and its extremely doubtful he'll end up remaining a Raider. I guess he just went apeshit on Mayock with the insults and aggressiveness. Stay tuned.

No doubt. He'll definitely end up in the NFC, which as become the "majors" compared to the AFC's Triple A status. It's freaking ridiculous. 

dunno, imagine two alpha divas in GB.  The first time either makes a mistake, it would make the Cold War seem like global warming.

Mayock would get his ass kicked, he's 61 years old and has leaned out the last year or so. Brown is 30 years his junior and a current NFL athlete.

This would get anyone fired from their jobs in a nanosecond:

I think he'd look good in purple.  Raven's purple... ;)

He's apologized.

"Nothing to see here....move along folks"

Antonio Brown attends Raiders team meeting, gives “emotional apology”

Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown is back at the team facility today, trying to make amends.
Brown attended a team meeting this morning and issued “an emotional apology,” Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.

The Raiders’ team captains, who reportedly told Jon Gruden that they would back him on whatever he wants to do with Brown, stood with Brown at the team meeting.
Whether the Raiders are willing to accept that apology or not remains to be seen. General Manager Mike Mayock, who was targeted for verbal abuse by Brown, seems ready to move on. Gruden, however, has final say in Oakland, and he may be willing to give Brown one more chance. That’s what Brown is asking for.

Losing all that guaranteed money made him very emotional.

....or not. He's playing without a suspension.

I just struggle to imagine how this is going to get better
by locking in his salary for the year. 
It just seems like being in a relationship you hate, and then choosing
to have a kid and get married to strengthen the relationship.

Well, he's the Raider's problem now.  It doesn't really affect me one way or the other... except for the grumpy old man in me that wants to see people suffer the consequences for their choices (if- for no other reason- as a warning to others: to not do those same things).

Anyone want to bet on him being a model citizen beyond week 5?

Might have to change this to week two.

Omfg, give it a rest!

I hope someone levels that pos the very first game and puts him out of his misery...
