Where are the guys who were pissed Lynch did not trade for AB?

Antonio Brown has told officials for The Oakland Raiders that unless he gets to wear his old helmet, he will not play football again, league sources tell Adam Schefter.

I definitely wanted AB. Figured he could be had for cheap and stated I still wanted him after the Raiders made the trade. Was totally wrong. Not only was the FO right for not trading for him, but they had no interest. Good call.

One of the silliest excuses to not play football. It's hilarious, never seen anything like it.

Looks to me like he is just trying to draw attention away from his frostbitten feet that could potentially end his career.

Looks to me like he's a psychopath, albeit at least so far non violent.

And everybody blaming Rothlisberger, Gruden, Davis, etc., are just feeding the monster.

I would not call victory just yet. Let's see how this actually plays out.

He's already proven to be a massive distraction and we're barely into August.

Yup. Retirement over a helmet? This is insane.

Steelers are a solid organization. 49ers wanted Odell instead anyways. I don't know if he doesn't want to be a Raider or just doesn't want to play until Week 1. Either way I'm glad we didn't trade and then overpay for a 31 yr old headache who's best days are in the rearview mirror. I could be wrong Carr is pretty good when protected and AB is still very good.

Doesn't he have a helmet without the concussion upgrades??? Why would you want to wear that one??? I agree it looks better but I would rather keep my brain intact.

Says it's a vision thing. But other WRs use it....

I just have to laugh every time I read about this
