I'd love to be a "Fly On The Wall" in their household tonight.
He didnt though. Mayock took away the 30 mil. It was guaranteed lol. So bc he called Mayock a cracker, he should be fined 30 mil?. Mayock sounds like a moron too. Raiders need to fire him as well.

It is though. He didn't show up for all the workouts so he missed out on a $500k bonus. If they can void the remaining guarantees they would only be out draft picks.

Am I having comprehension problems? WTF does this mean?
Maybe? Told him not to come into work & bad mouthed him. Then told him to come into work, fined him and took away his guarantees.

He will be a Seahawk the moment they realize they can't run 4 go routes every play and they have no intermediate guy.

I mean i wouldn't say its 100% true & Oak better hope they win....
If AB wins his grievance against the Raiders, he would count over a whopping $50,000,000 this year in dead money for 2 teams! Oak - $29,125,000 and Pit - $21,120,000!

I would like to apologize to Big Ben for actually blaming him for Brown's end in Pittsburg. This guy has serious issues. Wow.

I almost hope he wins. The Raiders will have to play with 22 players.

Antonio Brown's $1M signing bonus was actually two $500,000 workout bonuses that required he attend at least 85% of the offseason program. He didn't, so he's already lost $500k. If he's released prior to Week 1, he'll leave Oakland with $0 cash earned, & $0 dead cap.
