For those of you who wanted AB on here this past spring

Yet another reason to love Steve Smith. And yes, I know he sucker punched teammates. That was horrible. But he never acted like this. He never put his team behind himself in terms of priorities. He played hurt, never bitched about anything. If he did, it was for a good reason. That’s how you play professional football. Balls out, no excuses. Brown is an absolute moron.

89 is a character for sure but couldn’t be further from a diva like these other WRs. Top 5 all time in my opinion.

Yes. A suspension for conduct detrimental to the team would void his guarantees.

panthers should do it just to keep him out of new england

Cowherd reports that he had to be held back by teammates. Also notes that if he is suspended for conduct detrimental his guarantees can be voided.

When a franchise like the Steelers with a long history of winning decides to cut bait and trade away arguably the best WR in the game while also trying to maximize the final season(s) of a future HOF QB... well, buyer beware.

Gruden is going full LEEEEEEROY JEEEEENKINS with the Raiders. Mayock is just there to provide him a fall guy if (when) need be. Gruden is the one running that show.

I approve this message.

The bad news is that I drafted AB and Melvin Gordon for my FF team. The good news is, I also drafted Alvin Kamara. Expect something bad to happen to him before Sunday...

If they do actually wind up cutting him, not sure who would even want him unless at an extreme discount after his antics in Oakland...

It's probably worth remembering that besides the people who wanted us to sign Antonio Brown, there were also several people in the past who thought we should go after Jon Gruden as a head coach.
