‘I don’t need the money’.
‘I don’t need the NFL, I’m perfectly happy’

I hope the Patriots don’t pay this useless sack of shit a dime, way to shoot yourself in the foot asshole.

And now AB has deleted all his tweets from this morning, what a ****ing nut case.

If you noticed he waited until gameday to post that crap and draw attention away from games to himself

Its his ego that must constantly be feed at this point

He is clearly enjoying being the story and talk from sports media

hopefully he doesn't get ****

if he wants to be paid behave yourself. Not hard.
He’ll have to file grievances to get his money. Going to take time to get it sorted out. NE won’t pay him unless they are ordered to.

Language of the contract will be the determining factor. Read on ESPN that they interviewed former front office people who read his NE contract and said that He should win a grievance for his SB. So who knows how it ends up.

I have a hard time believing the Patriots wouldnt have protected themselves from something like this. There was pretty clear language in the contract - If Brown "takes any action that materially undermines the public's respect for, or is materially critical of, the Club, the Player's teammates or the Club's ownership, coaches," etc., guarantees will "null and void."

Apparently from the people ESPN talked to it’s going to be a battle between the cba language and the NE contract language and how an arbitrator rules on it.

It will be a fight for that money.

Teams are restricted by the NFL CBA in what sort of clauses are allowed for forfeiture. Will be educational to see how it plays out.

Wouldn't be surprised if they ultimately settle before the arbitrator decides.

It may be, but the owners rarely ever lose this type of thing against the players

Such an absurd situation, never seen anything like it in sports and don't think I ever will again. Guy is legitimately the best WR in the NFL right now. Just absolute insanity.

Hell baby
I’m sure some teams are keeping tabs on him and are interested, but if they were “very” interested He’d be playing this week

Considering what he is being accused of in civil case and the threat he sent to accuser it would be very inappropriate for any high school to allow him on premises

As if parents and teachers want him anywhere near children.... but if schools commissioned him to visit, meet & greet, maybe even give some pointers out on the field...

...they should renege on their payment after. Just for Lulz and Karma.
