MDC 5,875 Posted September 7, 2019 Pats are probably the best situation for AB. Strong veteran leadership and head coach that’s giod enough even without him where they won’t have to take his shiit. I’d feel a little dirty as a fan having to root for AB but Pats fans made a clean part with dignity years ago. Win win. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When he gets his next contract he will get paid more probably. Brown wasnt happy with his contract making 15 mil a year. He is how out of that contract. He makes 15 this year and then probably 20 per year the next few years. 10 mil swing in favor of Browns pocket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fireballer 2,367 Posted September 9, 2019 57 minutes ago, Djgb13 said: “maybe he did it on purpose" Yeah who knows. Maybe he didnt buy into Gruden/Mcoys philosophy. Maybe hes convinced Raiders are 6-10 at best. Maybe he thought Carr sucks and would expose the fact that Big Ben made AB so good. Maybe his family just didnt like Oakland. People, especially multi millionaires, do things that seem nonsensical to most. I dont buy into the fact that he didnt do it on purpose cuz he was walking away from money. Just look at the millions that Brady has given up to be a Patriot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,940 Posted September 9, 2019 Looking back on it, it does seem like a calculated move by AB to end up with the Patriots. He wasn’t a FA so he couldn’t just jump to a championship team like an NBA player. And I certainly don’t put it past the Pats organization to help him land where he wanted to go all along.

I think they might’ve had a deal ready to go after seeing all what was goin down just in case. Make signing him easier. And im sure as soon as they got the news he was released they had that agent and AB on the phone immediately. Deal got done way too dam quick for them not to have a deal ready to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 936 Posted September 9, 2019 Don't forget the Pats wanted him all along, Steelers said no.Yeah there's nothing shady here Per Schefter Patriots tried to trade for Antonio Brown in March, but Steelers did not want to trade him to a rival. So instead of having to give up a pick or picks for him in March, Patriots get Brown without having to compensate another team in September. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,166 Posted September 9, 2019 It's hard to believe that they could go from not communicating to completed $15M contract within an hour. But it's equally hard to believe that Brown knew details, because the Pats wouldn't take the chance of AB singing (which would be a virtual certainty). My money is on the whole thing coordinated by Rosenhaus behind the scenes. Either way the NFL has to investigate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
