I just saw on the ESPN crawl AB signed with NE.
Called this a week ago. lol
We know how this ends. Oakland releases AB who signs with the Patriots. AFC Championship Game: New England at Pittsburgh.
They'd have to shed a lot of salary and I'm not sure their offense suits AB. TBH I'm not even sure what the offense is supposed to be other than a whole lot of running with some play action passing to keep the LBs and DBs honest.
Browns supposedly have almost 33M in cap space--third in the league. That offense is already expected to be high octane, can you imagine with AB? There's only one ball, sure, but who do you cover/double?
Wait why is peterson gonna be inactive?
Spotrac has the Patriots at almost 11M in cap space. They don't show AB as a cap hit at all yet. How do they fit him in? They have to make a roster move before the game today, right?
Its not the NHL they can just restructure a contract to bonus money, and make the problem go away.
The focus on the caps of the NHL vs NFL tells all you need to know. The NFL cap is a joke. Julio Jones just got a 64M signing bonus yesterday, all without a mention of cap implications.
It was easy to see ABs apology was not sincere in the least, that he hated being there and was just going through the motions.
I wonder if Belly will make him stand on the sidelines a few weeks before playing him, to make sure he can keep his cool.
He cannot, and will be gone by week 6 after he is open deep and Brady doesn't see him, and has a monumental meltdown.
