Apparently they fined him 200k for conduct detrimental to the team, and in doing so, some how voided his 30mil guaranteed. That's why he's asking to be released.
Raiders (ie Mayock) must have voided his guarantees
Edit : damnit
No guaranteed money. No termination pay. He's literally on a week to week contract. I mean, I'd probably sit out.
And if I was the Raiders I absolutely wouldn't cut him. Just let him rot at home not making a dime.
Obvious, but Brown sent an email to Jeff Darlington confirming he will not be playing without guarantees on a week to week contract.
Can’t wait for Raiders to release him and Pats sign him and go 19-0
I love how in Hard Knocks, the first thing he talks about is his kids. Well, congrats, these antics are completely fucking over your kids, and their kids, and their kids. Not likely he is smart enough with his money to have even mattered though. All you had to do is show up, shut up, play football, and make $50 mil.
I legit thought thought this guy was the best receiver since Moss/Rice, 2 seasons ago. Now, this guy isn't worth any talent he has to bring in-house. I see the Pats doing a "take 1 shit we don't OK and everything is voided" type contact, but that is it. Maybe the Saints if they want to REALLY push for a proper Brees send-off. No other team should value this guy high enough to bring along his baggage.
I'm pretty sure he has also pissed away the Hall of Fame. To even get in, in the first place, you have to have a sponsor from one of your teams. No chance in hell anyone from PITT would push for this guy, and with leaving PITT, his numbers probably fall off a cliff.
Glad I avoided this joker in both of my fantasy leagues.
Who the fuck needs soap operas when this clown is around. . .
It's almost like he has brain damage from playing football.

so apparently even ab's signing bonus was voided 'cause it was tied to showing up to a percentage of practices. the raiders have not given ab a single dollar as of this moment and the guarantee void doesn't hurt their cap either.
whoever made that contract is a genius
Raiders release Antonio Brown
PATRIOTS TIME
AND.....HE IS GONE
