So you are subscribing to the idea of this all being a C-O-N-spiracy? I don’t think anyone would be 30mil guaranteed just to take a trap door to NE

Brown wanted out. The Raiders were already tired of his . Brown's agent knew that the guaranteed $ in the Raiders contract was voided as soon as Brown was fined once, and that getting fined was inevitable.

So yeah, I think that they staged this in order to get released, and that the Patriots had already told the agent that they would sign Brown if he was released.

All he had to do was show up to walk-thru's and practices. Him choosing not to just for 10 mill just seems odd. Are the Raiders really THAT bad?

By throwing tantrums until the Raiders released him, AB got a better deal for himself money wise, given who he is.

Raiders: $30 million guaranteed over the life of the contract but all of it voided if he was ever fined, and there was never any possibility that he could control himself enough to have good behavior through the entire contract.

Patriots: $9 million signing bonus, paid up front. As soon as that money is safely in Brown's account, it's his. He could light Belichick's hoodie on fire in the middle of a game and he would still get to keep the $9 million.
