@AdamSchefter: The Next Chapter: Antonio Brown and GM Mike Mayock got into it Wednesday, and the team is now planning to suspend its star wide receiver, league sources tell ESPN.
We've all heard the reports about this drama over the summer, and they barely touched on it. Instead we got shots of AB hugging it out with Gruden and running in his pool. A major missed opportunity for a supposed "reality" show.
They are going to end up cutting him and he is going to get to keep all that guaranteed money for doing nothing. Nice little con.

#Raiders WR Antonio Brown and GM Mike Mayock got into it earlier this week, and it got ugly. Mayock clearly frustrated with AB posting his fine letter on Instagram. And now, a suspension for conduct detrimental could mean losing $30M in guaranteed money.

Don't forget all those scenes where he was complaining about new helmets. That was really riveting television right there.
Didn't he do some crazy shit before the Burfict hit? I don't remember if the social media incident filming Tomlin in the post-game locker room was before or after the hit.
Yeah, he was a diva and ran his mouth in Pitt about his contract and other things. When it came to on the field he always produced. Was it ever this bad? Maybe Pitt coddled him and kept things quiet? Who knows. But this full on blowup with Mayock is an escalation of negative behavior imo.
"Planning to suspend" and suspended are 2 different things Â
Agreed. Loved OBJ’s talent, but glad we parted ways..Of course the Skins or Cowboys, will probably go after him
this thread is about Brown. Beckham is a different case completely
Not at all. Not in terms of disruption. That’s why OBJ is no longer a Giant. AB may have a different disruption going on, but team disruption that appears to be irreversible, is team disruption, regardless of type
OTC says $15m but I can't quite explain it. His $15m salary is guaranteed this year and next so I think it's next year's accelerated salary counting in this year?
This could very well be one final warning shot of get your shit together and start becoming part of the team or you're in deep shit...
Right. It could be just a series or a quarter.
Gruden needs to win. That can't get lost in this chaos. Chaos, ironically, he helped create by trading for this circus. I feel fairly confident Mayock would not have pulled this trigger if he had full delegation of authority...

The issue is the Raiders have the final say on what goes into the show so they're not going to make it look like the mess it is.
Anybody catch hard knocks when Gruden is just screaming for mayock who looks like a scared dog. Just rubbed me the wrong way. I feel bad for mike who seems like a good guy

Feel bad? He signed up for that gig didn’t he? Players don’t have a choice where they’ll play, prospective GMs do.

Yeah, just looked that up. My bad. But not surprising that the Raiders OK-ed footage that shows Gruden knocking wood and counting backwards from 100 by 3s instead of anything with actual drama.
OTC says $15m but I can't quite explain it. His $15m salary is guaranteed this year and next so I think it's next year's accelerated salary counting in this year?
I think there would be another $15M in dead cap money that would accelerate into next year's cap for the Raiders.
Does he not have anyone in his inner circle who can just slap him across the face and tell him to just shut up and play football?
I can't imagine Drew Rosenhaus is OK with this. He might be the only one with the ability to get Brown focused on playing, at least for the short term.
Wikipedia is, at the moment, on the case with updates to Â
Secretly employed by the Chargers to help ruin the Raiders , despite the fact they don't need any help with Chucky at the helm. He also went 10 rounds with AB in his office. A lot of punches thrown however, business was not boomin'.

Like I said this could easily be a public warning shot to Rosenhaus and his handlers to get him in line before he finds himself in serious shit.
This could very well be one final warning shot of get your shit together and start becoming part of the team or you're in deep shit...
I don't know about that. You don't come out and say you are planning on spending, then turn around and let him dress right away.
That would make the situation look even worse, especially for Mayock. Can you imagine the media spin on how Mayock wanted to suspend him, but Gruden had the ultimate authority and overruled him?
does that for this nutcase. The Raiders are going to be a mess under Gruden and since they gave him minority ownership and a ten year contract he is going to be there for a while. What a clusterfuck.

He was TO's agent for the Bench Press Driveway press conference and the Next Question press conference. Not sure he can do better than anyone else...

Then why not just announce he's suspended indefinitely?

It's a tall order, to be sure. I just think he might be one of the very few with any kind of shot in helping.

"When your own team want to hate but there's no stopping me now devil is a lie. Everyone got to pay this year so we clear"
Translation:
When your own team want to hate - self explanatory
but there's no stopping me now - again, self explanatory meaning "I'm gonna do me."
devil is a lie - here is where homeboy is waaaay off base. 5% Muslims (i.e., Farrakhan) believe that the Caucasian man is an inferior, grafted version of the true and original Asiatic black man, sole controller of the universe.
The 'devil' comment comes from the belief that the white man is a blond haired, blue eyed 'devil'. Now most black people aren't 5% Muslims, but some do call whitey 'devil'.
Black folk like to say, "You a lie" meaning you're a liar
Devil is a lie = whitey lies/white people are liars
Everyone got to pay this year so we clear - subject to personal interpretation. I think he is saying that I'm gonna make you bitches (Raider front office) suffer and pay me.
Mayock put in the contract that it would void his 29 million dollar signing bonus.
If he is active game 1 he would collect it.
Mayock can cut bait with only paying him $600k.
To add clarity, Mayock needs to suspend him for Week 1. Doing so voids Brown's ability to seek termination pay as a vested veteran. If Brown is active for Week 1 and suspended Week 2, then Brown ultimately can collect his full 2019 salary as termination pay if he is released.
The suspension will trigger the forfeiture clause in the player's contract allowing them to seek voiding the guarantees.
OTC says $15m but I can't quite explain it. His $15m salary is guaranteed this year and next so I think it's next year's accelerated salary counting in this year?
I think there would be another $15M in dead cap money that would accelerate into next year's cap for the Raiders.
Yes. Post 7/1, the dead cap money only accounts for 2019's dead cap. Future dead cap allocation is pushed into next year.

a commenter mentioned that "Devil is a lie" is common expression in the pews in Black/Southern churches.
It refers to the fact that AB is disputing the veracity of the charges leveled against him.
When he says "Devil is a lie," he's actually saying "None of this is true. I have not been misbehaving. Don't believe what you're reading or hearing." And I guess the implication of the idiom is that lies are just Satan trying to lead you astray.
I have no idea if this is what it actually means, what AB was trying to say, or if it is actually commonly used in this way in that subculture of America if at all, but it sounded plausible.

From an annotation on the line "The Devil is a Lie" from the Rick Ross song:
"The Devil Is A Lie is a corruption of the popular phrase The Devil Is A Liar. The phrase comes from John 8:44:
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Basically, the devil is a lie refers to two things:
The devil will use any trick to deceive you and get you away from God.
The devil does not actually exist."
It says he didn't stretch with team, took plays off during individuals, and fired the ball into the fence after a catch from Carr. That incident can be seen on twitter apparently.

This might be the dumbest thing I have ever seen on this site. The only person who called White people the devil was Fred Sanford(Sanford and Sons). GTFOH
The Devil is a lie is a song by Rick Ross and Jay Z. Its about jealous people who will say and do anything to bring you down once you reach the top.
Race and Farrakhan (who by the way, no one under the age of 40 knows) has absolutely nothing to do with his post. WTF
RE: RE: RE: If he really did threaten to punch Mayock Â
There was something I saw on the internet that says this could be related to Burfict knocking him out cold with a hit to the head.
You gotta love diagnosis from afar. It is completely unprofessional for any doctor to offer opinions on s patient they have not examined. As far as any diagnosis by the media, it is completely meaning less.
Moreover, AB was a prima Donna long before he took that hit.
Yeah, he was a diva and ran his mouth in Pitt about his contract and other things. When it came to on the field he always produced. Was it ever this bad? Maybe Pitt coddled him and kept things quiet? Who knows. But this full on blowup with Mayock is an escalation of negative behavior imo.
There's a lot of stuff that goes on that teams hide. I mean, look at Marvin Harrison on the Colts. The guy is one of the most dangerous individuals prowling the streets and the Colts hid it for years.
Mayock put in the contract that it would void his 29 million dollar signing bonus.
If he is active game 1 he would collect it.
Mayock can cut bait with only paying him $600k.
So it comes down to whether Gruden wants to keep him or not. If this is the truth, a sensible organization eats the draft picks and cuts the guy. Who cares if he goes to the Patriots and regains his form, it isn't happening here, and you could use the money.

Brown had to be held back from hitting Mayock by Burfict, of all people. Plus, he punted a football in practice and said "fine me for that!" Also unfollowed the Raiders and Derek Carr in IG
who some Giants fans seem to perceive Odell Beckham is.
In terms of personal conduct, OBJ hasn't done a fraction of the nonsense that Brown has been doing.
But unlike OBJ, Brown has been escaping scrutiny for the most part all this time because he's been on winning teams, and doesn't have the flashy hair and tattoos. They definitely do not belong together in the same conversation unless it's just about their talent as wide receivers.

it could void his $29mil guaranteed money per WFAN via Tanenbaum.
isn't that money already out the door?
No. Brown only received a $1M signing bonus. The rest of the guarantees are his 2019/2020 salaries. Brown's Contract - ( New Window )
Correction. Despite the $1M being listed as a signing bonus, it apparently never was. His contract broke the "signing bonus" into 2 workout bonuses of $500K for each year. The salt in the wound for Brown is that he might not get a single cent from the Raiders. He is already in default of the requirement that he participate in 85% of the required activities. Brown really needs to learn to read the fine print - ( New Window )

You’re so wrong on so many levels I don’t know where to begin. First of all, not all Nation of Islam (I.e. farakhan) members are 5%ers. The nation of 5% was a break away from the Nation of Islam (for those confused here, the Nation of Islam is related to but not the same thing as traditional Islam).
2nd, I highly doubt AB is in the Nation of Islam, as there are only about 20,000 total members as of today (there are even way fewer Nation of 5% members, they only have like one mosque/location in the world - in NYC).
A lot of people believe the phrase “the devil is a liar”, including blacks and whites, Christians, Muslims, people of all creeds and color. There’s a passage (or several) in the Bible that allude to this idea. “The Devil” is a pretty universal term /belief that represents evil in the world. It may have had to do with Mayock being white, it may not have, you don’t know, I don’t know, hell with where AB’s head has been at I’m not even sure he knows so who are you be qualified to “translate”?

Josina has two sources, including one with Raiders, who say Antonio Brown called GM Mike Mayock a "cracker" in the altercation Brown initiated at practice Wednesday. https://twitter.com/tunasweasel/status/1169995295746342912 … https://twitter.com/tunasweasel/status/1169995295746342912
I just heard Clay Travis say that O.J. Simpson posted a video on Twitter telling Brown that he has to "chill out." I don't tweet, so I didn't see it, myself, but Travis's point was that if you're getting good life advice from O.J. Simpson, you've got to make better decisions about your life and your career. Travis also said that Adam Schefter is reporting that the Raiders are trying to figure out how they can void Brown's contract.
In comment 14560166 Peter from NH (formerly CT) said:
Quote:
There will be a lot of legal action by the players association.
I don't believe that's true. It's standard wording in every veterans contract about being on the opening day roster and not some poison pill type of thing Mayock slipped in there.
The players association might try and raise a stink but it'll be a futile one, and probably something they'll try and fix in the next CBA.

Here is a sense of how quickly things are changing in Oakland: Yesterday, #Raiders coach Jon Gruden told people AB was not in their plans for Monday. Now, I hear… there is a real chance he not only does not get suspended but actually plays. Wild times
"planning to suspend" and actually suspending a guy are 2 very different things. A no nonsense organization like NE/Philly/NYG etc... wouldn't put up with yesterday's antics and he'd never play a game for them again but the Raiders welcome this shit. They love it , they bathe in it. Have ever since I was a kid in the 70's...
This guy is off the reservation.
Good for Mayock.
Agreed. Loved OBJ’s talent, but glad we parted ways..Of course the Skins or Cowboys, will probably go after him
You mean from three years ago?

There was something I saw on the internet that says this could be related to Burfict knocking him out cold with a hit to the head.

I believe there was an article that laid out how all of his nonsense began to start after that hit. I don't remember where I saw it.
Maybe that was his angle all along.
I think it's $30...?
Maybe the Raiders are setting this up so they can get
the signing bonus back...
Quote:
They are going to end up cutting him and he is going to get to keep all that guaranteed money for doing nothing. Nice little con.
Maybe that was his angle all along.
Why would they cut him when they can keep suspending him for conduct detrimental and recouping his money?
Quote:
Just cut him. What a disaster this guy is.
Agreed. Loved OBJ’s talent, but glad we parted ways..Of course the Skins or Cowboys, will probably go after him
Does he not have anyone in his inner circle who can just slap him across the face and tell him to just shut up and play football?

this thread is about Brown. Beckham is a different case completely
All I know is that WRs tend to be the nuttiest with egos the size of Texas.

#Raiders WR Antonio Brown and GM Mike Mayock got into it earlier this week, and it got ugly. Mayock clearly frustrated with AB posting his fine letter on Instagram. And now, a suspension for conduct detrimental could mean losing $30M in guaranteed money.
Don't forget all those scenes where he was complaining about new helmets. That was really riveting television right there.
Didn't he do some crazy shit before the Burfict hit? I don't remember if the social media incident filming Tomlin in the post-game locker room was before or after the hit.
TO's idiocy may start to look reasonable.
And for all those that thought Pittsburgh did not get enough in return....

Not at all. Not in terms of disruption. That’s why OBJ is no longer a Giant. AB may have a different disruption going on, but team disruption that appears to be irreversible, is team disruption, regardless of type

Who could have seen this coming?

OTC says $15m but I can't quite explain it. His $15m salary is guaranteed this year and next so I think it's next year's accelerated salary counting in this year?
Right. It could be just a series or a quarter.
Gruden needs to win. That can't get lost in this chaos. Chaos, ironically, he helped create by trading for this circus. I feel fairly confident Mayock would not have pulled this trigger if he had full delegation of authority...
He pushed them to do it. Wasn't their choice.
On the other "here's your fine..." -Mayock
The issue is the Raiders have the final say on what goes into the show so they're not going to make it look like the mess it is.
Feel bad? He signed up for that gig didn’t he? Players don’t have a choice where they’ll play, prospective GMs do.
The issue is the Raiders have the final say on what goes into the show so they're not going to make it look like the mess it is.
Yeah, just looked that up. My bad. But not surprising that the Raiders OK-ed footage that shows Gruden knocking wood and counting backwards from 100 by 3s instead of anything with actual drama.
OTC says $15m but I can't quite explain it. His $15m salary is guaranteed this year and next so I think it's next year's accelerated salary counting in this year?
I think there would be another $15M in dead cap money that would accelerate into next year's cap for the Raiders.
I can't imagine Drew Rosenhaus is OK with this. He might be the only one with the ability to get Brown focused on playing, at least for the short term.

Like I said this could easily be a public warning shot to Rosenhaus and his handlers to get him in line before he finds himself in serious shit.
You know you have issues when you were the issue in a situation with Roethlisberger and Ben comes out looking like the sane one.
I don't know about that. You don't come out and say you are planning on spending, then turn around and let him dress right away.
That would make the situation look even worse, especially for Mayock. Can you imagine the media spin on how Mayock wanted to suspend him, but Gruden had the ultimate authority and overruled him?
If he is active game 1 he would collect it.
Mayock can cut bait with only paying him $600k.
And Vontaze Burfict is now his Raiders teammate.
And so is Richie Incognito.
A hell of a locker room Gruden and Mayock are building out there in Oakland.

He was TO's agent for the Bench Press Driveway press conference and the Next Question press conference. Not sure he can do better than anyone else...
If the above posts are true, they can get out of all of it and just get rid of him without the week to week nonsense.
isn't that money already out the door?

Then why not just announce he's suspended indefinitely?

It's a tall order, to be sure. I just think he might be one of the very few with any kind of shot in helping.
"When your own team want to hate but there's no stopping me now devil is a lie. Everyone got to pay this year so we clear"
Translation:
When your own team want to hate - self explanatory

devil is a lie - here is where homeboy is waaaay off base. 5% Muslims (i.e., Farrakhan) believe that the Caucasian man is an inferior, grafted version of the true and original Asiatic black man, sole controller of the universe.
The 'devil' comment comes from the belief that the white man is a blond haired, blue eyed 'devil'. Now most black people aren't 5% Muslims, but some do call whitey 'devil'.

Mayock can cut bait with only paying him $600k.
To add clarity, Mayock needs to suspend him for Week 1. Doing so voids Brown's ability to seek termination pay as a vested veteran. If Brown is active for Week 1 and suspended Week 2, then Brown ultimately can collect his full 2019 salary as termination pay if he is released.
The suspension will trigger the forfeiture clause in the player's contract allowing them to seek voiding the guarantees.

Yes. Post 7/1, the dead cap money only accounts for 2019's dead cap. Future dead cap allocation is pushed into next year.

When he says "Devil is a lie," he's actually saying "None of this is true. I have not been misbehaving. Don't believe what you're reading or hearing." And I guess the implication of the idiom is that lies are just Satan trying to lead you astray.
I have no idea if this is what it actually means, what AB was trying to say, or if it is actually commonly used in this way in that subculture of America if at all, but it sounded plausible.

From an annotation on the line "The Devil is a Lie" from the Rick Ross song:
"The Devil Is A Lie is a corruption of the popular phrase The Devil Is A Liar. The phrase comes from John 8:44:
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Basically, the devil is a lie refers to two things:
The devil will use any trick to deceive you and get you away from God.
The devil does not actually exist."
Sprewell literally choked PJC and he was not done...
Yeah but his stay in Golden State was cut a little short,I guess we'll have see what happens.
Threatening upper management never seemed like a good way to start a new job.

This might be the dumbest thing I have ever seen on this site. The only person who called White people the devil was Fred Sanford(Sanford and Sons). GTFOH
The Devil is a lie is a song by Rick Ross and Jay Z. Its about jealous people who will say and do anything to bring you down once you reach the top.
Race and Farrakhan (who by the way, no one under the age of 40 knows) has absolutely nothing to do with his post. WTF

You gotta love diagnosis from afar. It is completely unprofessional for any doctor to offer opinions on s patient they have not examined. As far as any diagnosis by the media, it is completely meaning less.
Moreover, AB was a prima Donna long before he took that hit.
do some of you here even have black friends or acquaintances???

No but they have breitb ... no, I don't even think Breitbart would argue this.

So it comes down to whether Gruden wants to keep him or not. If this is the truth, a sensible organization eats the draft picks and cuts the guy. Who cares if he goes to the Patriots and regains his form, it isn't happening here, and you could use the money.

In terms of personal conduct, OBJ hasn't done a fraction of the nonsense that Brown has been doing.
But unlike OBJ, Brown has been escaping scrutiny for the most part all this time because he's been on winning teams, and doesn't have the flashy hair and tattoos. They definitely do not belong together in the same conversation unless it's just about their talent as wide receivers.
Well maybe the union should step the hell up and help save this man from self destruction if they cared so much.

No. Brown only received a $1M signing bonus. The rest of the guarantees are his 2019/2020 salaries. Brown's Contract - ( New Window )
Correction. Despite the $1M being listed as a signing bonus, it apparently never was. His contract broke the "signing bonus" into 2 workout bonuses of $500K for each year. The salt in the wound for Brown is that he might not get a single cent from the Raiders. He is already in default of the requirement that he participate in 85% of the required activities.

You’re so wrong on so many levels I don’t know where to begin. First of all, not all Nation of Islam (I.e. farakhan) members are 5%ers. The nation of 5% was a break away from the Nation of Islam (for those confused here, the Nation of Islam is related to but not the same thing as traditional Islam).
2nd, I highly doubt AB is in the Nation of Islam, as there are only about 20,000 total members as of today (there are even way fewer Nation of 5% members, they only have like one mosque/location in the world - in NYC).
A lot of people believe the phrase “the devil is a liar”, including blacks and whites, Christians, Muslims, people of all creeds and color. There’s a passage (or several) in the Bible that allude to this idea. “The Devil” is a pretty universal term /belief that represents evil in the world. It may have had to do with Mayock being white, it may not have, you don’t know, I don’t know, hell with where AB’s head has been at I’m not even sure he knows so who are you be qualified to “translate”?

it could void his $29mil guaranteed money per WFAN via Tanenbaum.
isn't that money already out the door?
No. Brown only received a $1M signing bonus. The rest of the guarantees are his 2019/2020 salaries. Brown's Contract - ( New Window )
Correction. Despite the $1M being listed as a signing bonus, it apparently never was. His contract broke the "signing bonus" into 2 workout bonuses of $500K for each year. The salt in the wound for Brown is that he might not get a single cent from the Raiders. He is already in default of the requirement that he participate in 85% of the required activities. Brown really needs to learn to read the fine print - ( New Window )
wow.
That was pretty smart of the Raiders

Source: #Raiders WR Antonio Brown just issued “an emotional apology” at a team meeting this morning, just now, “with team captains standing with him.”
Of course the dude is going to try and apologize and get all sentimental, he is about to lose $30M.
Looks like he is using Josina Anderson as his mouth piece in the media, OBJ must have given him her number.

Josina has two sources, including one with Raiders, who say Antonio Brown called GM Mike Mayock a "cracker" in the altercation Brown initiated at practice Wednesday. https://twitter.com/tunasweasel/status/1169995295746342912 … https://twitter.com/tunasweasel/status/1169995295746342912
What's even more funny, is the guy who broke up the altercation was Vontaze Burfict!

You can call him Vontaze "Peacemaker" Burfict now.
Bizarro Football World.
I just heard Clay Travis say that O.J. Simpson posted a video on Twitter telling Brown that he has to "chill out." I don't tweet, so I didn't see it, myself, but Travis's point was that if you're getting good life advice from O.J. Simpson, you've got to make better decisions about your life and your career. Travis also said that Adam Schefter is reporting that the Raiders are trying to figure out how they can void Brown's contract.
so, there's that.
so, there's that.
Did he really? Holy crap, that's even more hilarious!
I don't believe that's true. It's standard wording in every veterans contract about being on the opening day roster and not some poison pill type of thing Mayock slipped in there.
The players association might try and raise a stink but it'll be a futile one, and probably something they'll try and fix in the next CBA.
so, there's that.
Wow, if that is true. Slow golf clap to OJ...pretty damn funny.

OK, it was catchy headline by TMZ, but OJ never actually said "murdering my fantasy team".
Funny nonetheless.

It seems it was more a TMZ creation. OJ never actually uses these words. Still funny though. Also funny that OJ drafted Andrew Luck and Antonio Brown.

I mean, it is funny enough that OJ is giving AB life advice...

Here is a sense of how quickly things are changing in Oakland: Yesterday, #Raiders coach Jon Gruden told people AB was not in their plans for Monday. Now, I hear… there is a real chance he not only does not get suspended but actually plays. Wild times
"planning to suspend" and actually suspending a guy are 2 very different things. A no nonsense organization like NE/Philly/NYG etc... wouldn't put up with yesterday's antics and he'd never play a game for them again but the Raiders welcome this shit. They love it , they bathe in it. Have ever since I was a kid in the 70's...
