    I don't understand why the FO, ie Gruden, took away AB's contract guarantees after AB's apologies and kumbaya moment?

    This is a complete crap show. Mack, Cooper, and now AB. What the hell is going on?

    The Raiders told Rosenhaus about the voids and guarantees before he decided to return. The failure to communicate might lie with the agent and player.










    So yeah, really, all it did was prolong what was eventually going to happen because AB wasn't going to play without guarantees. But maybe Rosenhaus wanted to try and see if AB would play without the guarantees, so he could get his agent's take? This should have ended with AB going on the reserve list, but now he's free to fuck up the balance of power in the league. At this point we all just pray that Belicheat doesn't want him.

    AB should land in Carolina with that other clown they have at QB..hopefully there and not New England. Carolina's new owner came from the Steelers' org..don't know if that's a positive or not TBH

    Belichek doesn't sound like the kind of guy to take on someone like AB and pay him $30M. I think they take a pass on him.

    He certainly won't give AB that money, but the Pats did offer a 1st round pick to the Steelers for AB a few months back, so Belicheat is willing to negotiate

    Reminder..Belicheat took Randy Moss off the RAIDERS' hands. He just made Moss take a $9M paycut

    Belicheat also took in a douche Corey Dillon, among others. Coached Lawrence Taylor, beast linebacker, monster cokehead

    Randy Moss was 1/100 the of the headache AB currently is. AB is magnitudes ahead of Moss in that department.

    AB would have to take a massive paycut and not have any of the guarantees he wanted from the Raiders. Also taking on LT was not his choice as he was not the head coach or GM in NY.

    This we agree on. But Belicheat was still interested in having AB a few months ago. Steelers rejected all offers from division rivals and the Patriots. Everybody else was in play



    Massive paycut, but that's going to happen anywhere he goes



    The point there was that Belicheat has dealt with loons before and won with them. And LT is one of the all time loons. AB doesn't have shit on LT. And the name of the game is still the W.

    Julio gets a monster deal from ATL on the same day. Smh Fans in Oakland that still support the RAIDERS have to truly be dead after this one. Fuck'em I guess. They are Bay fans. Guess Tyrell Williams is the #1 WR now. Knock on wood if you're with Hunter Renfrow? Lol Fire up your RAIDERS/WR 2020 mock drafts? Tankathon's mock now has RAIDERS drafting WR CeeDee Lamb out of OU in the 1st. Doubt Chucky goes WR early when he prefers plug and play vets @ WR.

    Fuck it, go get AJ Green from Cincy. He's a FA after this season..hurt right now, but rumors have him on the trade block. A 4th in 2020 and a 3rd in 2021 should get it done for Green..give Green a portion of AB's money and call it a day. Green is the best available WR in next year's FA crop. Why not? Jalen Ramsey already says he'd like to play in Vegas, but if they get AJ Green that's probably out..

    Then again we just had mortal enemies AB and Burfict. Maybe Green and Ramsey could co-exist

    And Fall called it.

    Are we sure this wasn't the plan all along? Somebody on the Pats texting AB to find a way out.

    Don’t see where the Pats get the money. Not 100% clear about their cap situation, but I know they don’t have $30M in cap space.

    So how much of a hit is AB willing to take?

    Whoops.....never mind.

    Just like that. Season over. For everybody. Except the Patriots.

    And this is why they shouldn't have released him. Fuck it. Battle it out with the NFLPA..anything, but this.

    Who gives a shit?
    They just got a hall of fame WR in his prime to go with their GOAT QB. Doesn't even matter what he signed for
