Cut/Released: Antonio Brown (suspended 8 games)

[EpochLink]

When Bill has had enough of your shit, you are damaged goods.

karma hurts doesn’t it, AB?

 

[hi]

Also, who has the last laugh now? Brown is just winning at life. His agent probably had twenty calls the second he got released

AB out here playing 64 D chess

Brown didn't break any laws, he just didn't get along with his boss. It happens

As people have said on Twitter, Brown was playing chess while the Raiders were playing checkers.

He got traded somewhere he didn't want to go (who would want to be in that horrible organization?), and figured out a way to get out of it AND still get paid

Only made it through a handful of pages of the Patriots sign Antonio Brown thread but I was entertained

Had 30 million guaranteed from the Raiders and he threw it away

He clearly has some sort of mental illness/CTE related issues and needs professional help

Not a big loss for them since they didn't need him to begin with.

They were more than willing to look past the terrible allegations to keep him around and even play him in a game so the recent texts to cause another issue must've been too much. Or as the last few days showed, Belichick didn't want to deal with the media doing its job and constantly asking him about it.

 

[Live in the Now]

This guy is probably done in the league. If the Patriots can't handle him and the only other team that likes to take on misfits released him, who's left? Maybe the Redskins? Cowboys?

He's gonna get suspended for threatening a woman that he probably raped, after having said in a text message that he busted a nut on her back (which is another thing she accused him of doing) and all his friends made fun of her over it.

He's not gonna get picked up.

 

[GKJ]

I think he's done also. It would've been one thing if he got through the season with some trouble. He made it 11 days.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Even if he did or didn't, it doesn't even matter. The manner in which he conducts himself is enough, he should NEVER play another down in the NFL. I look forward to the 30 for 30 in five years where he's smoking crack behind a Walmart.

 

[John Price]

I mean the Patriots were his last chance

Mess up there and they'll cut ya without hesitation

And he messed up. So they cut him.

He's persona non grata around the league. Anyone willing to sign him would deal with a lot of shit.

 

[Tuggy]

Peace out AB, it's been real.

Nothing gained, nothing lost.

 

[Suiteness]

I'm simply not buying that this guy started acting this way in the past 6-8 months. The Steelers must have buried LOTS of stuff.

Oh it's gone on for years according to the SI article

 

[Rude Dog]

Love this news. Just read an article detailing all the people he has screwed over the last few years. Not paying people he has hired. Creating conflicts to justify why they shouldn’t get paid. Issues with women. He was bigger than life. This is one time I love the fall from grace. Karma is a bitch.

Where is his I am free video now.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Enjoy semi-retirement, AB.

Or prison.

You know, whichever ends up happening, you bum.

If you bury small stuff, it becomes bigger stuff, if you bury the bigger stuff, people eventually think they're above all the rules. This kind of stuff escalates when continuously tolerated. I was shocked when the Pats signed him because I figured a guy like Belichick would have little patience for this act..and I guess that's how it turned out in the end after all.

You would think Pgh giving him away for virtually nothing would have been a hint....hubris cracks me up.

 

[Tuggy]

BB was particularly mad today when he walked out of his PC (more so than usual).

He had enough.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Oh well, was "fun" while it lasted.

What's the impact in terms of space? Do the Pats now have enough money to go after Trent Williams?

 

[John Price]

 

[inthe6ix]

Good riddance.

To the XFL or CFL he goes.

(Or San Quentin.)

I believe they will recoup all but about $100k

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Pats do not fool around. This is why they are the success that they are. AB's career has got to be close to over. If he can't control himself with them, he won't be able to with any other franchise.

Lol they signed him in the first place!

 

[PanniniClaus]

It's a sad sad world when you can't harass, threaten, humiliate and drop a batch on your personal trainer or whomever else you please. World is going soft.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I think this last texting thing sent them over the edge. Everything else was done while not on the Patriots. He haf a clean slate with the Patriots but couldnt keep his mouth shut

He has never been able to keep his mouth shut. He just cannot help himself.

 

[VikingAv]

Somebody told them that those allegations are credible.

Yep, this is it.

 

[Shockmaster]

This dumbass screwed himself out of $30 million guaranteed and endorsement deals. f*** him.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Apparently they told him to stop texting the accuser. He thought otherwise.
