markky : 9/7/2019 5:01 pm : link
lots of radio speculation here that that might happen. i didn't believe it.
110+ rec 1500+ yards 15+ td  
90.Cal : 9/7/2019 5:01 pm : link
Watch.
Wow  
BillT : 9/7/2019 5:01 pm : link
Some here called that.
Count me  
g56blue10 : 9/7/2019 5:02 pm : link
As wrong. I said there’s no way they would sign him
are we sure he's actually crazy?  
Strahan91 : 9/7/2019 5:02 pm : link
and this wasn't a long con to get the hell off the Raiders and to the Patriots to exact his revenge on Big Ben?
1 year 15 million dollar deal  
Big Rick in FL : 9/7/2019 5:03 pm : link
9 million signing bonus
is anyone really surprised by this?  
rich in DC : 9/7/2019 5:03 pm : link
In fact, its a little suspicious. Remember several years back where the Steelers signed LeGarrette Blount as a FA, only to get him back several weeks into the season after he jogged off the field before the game was over.

Funny how the antics get what they want- and then end up in a better spot...

I was just thinking the same damn thing.

Crazy like a fox...??
Now he'll become a model citizen  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 9/7/2019 5:04 pm : link
For at least a while, ala Moss with them.
I'll be surprised if he can keep it together there or anywhere  
Torrag : 9/7/2019 5:05 pm : link
I'm just an observer but I think he's having some concerns that need counseling and probably medication. We'll see how this works out.
wow  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 9/7/2019 5:05 pm : link
would never have expected this. Thought Bill would not take this kind of risk.
Pats get the benefit of doubt  
Jim in Forest Hills : 9/7/2019 5:06 pm : link
but I think its a mistake.
Omg  
djm : 9/7/2019 5:06 pm : link
I own brown in a keeper league. This is NOT a bad thing!
Of course. Because they CAN.  
David B. : 9/7/2019 5:06 pm : link
Because everyone wants to play there and win a SB. And it's "the Patriots Way" -- if he fucks up, BB will cut him in a heartbeat. It'll be part of his deal. And he'll accept that because it's the Pats.
Lil Bill will straighten him out  
micky : 9/7/2019 5:06 pm : link
Super bowl here they come!
Wow just wow

Could he play  
ron mexico : 9/7/2019 5:08 pm : link
In this weeks game?

I wonder if he plays  
pjcas18 : 9/7/2019 5:09 pm : link
Sunday night vs PIT.

Not much time to get him ready, but maybe they put a couple plays in for him.
Crazy like a fox?  
Poktown Pete : 9/7/2019 5:09 pm : link
Think the sample size may point to just plain crazy. Let’s see if he blows this opportunity. Popcorn worthy.
No surprise.  
Klaatu : 9/7/2019 5:09 pm : link
Listening to Clay Travis the other day, he predicted that the Raiders would cut Brown and then Brown would be signed by the Patriots.
Another click in the ratchet ...  
DonQuixote : 9/7/2019 5:09 pm : link
... that is moving the NFL toward the NBA model.

Looks like Little Bill has something cooking.
And let me guess,  
darren in pdx : 9/7/2019 5:10 pm : link
Patriots got him for peanuts.. They'll snooze their way to the championship game again like they've been doing for the past 20 years.
Guy is legit crazy or has brain damage or something  
Oscar : 9/7/2019 5:11 pm : link
Too much crazy in one locker room. Selling on the Pats.
Every called this.  
illmatic : 9/7/2019 5:11 pm : link
The Patriots were trending on twitter right after Brown was released. lol. Bill will cut him in an instant if he doesn't act like a good soldier.
He can't play  
BigBluesman : 9/7/2019 5:11 pm : link
Until week 2.
The Patriots and Cowboys would sign a serial killer  
carpoon : 9/7/2019 5:11 pm : link

It might be a mistake.

At which point that Pat Machine will simply bag him up, put up on the curb for pick-up, and move on "to Cincinnati".

Belichick sign that dirty DT who stomped on somebody, but had to cut him because he was so damn lazy? (Can't remember his name).

$9M is just the signing bonus. It's a 1 yr deal worth up to $15M. Pats are certainly betting a good chunk of change that he'll keep it together this year and not become a problem.

Well they just gave him a $9 million signing bonus

This is fishy as hell and probably pre-meditated by both camps but the Raiders are really a bunch of assclowns for not suspending brown a few weeks instead of pulling this, and the trade to begin with and Mayock in general is completely in over his head in the role. He’s Matt Millen bad at this.

This isn't on Mayock. It's on the $10M Man - Gruden. Mayock is essentially the CPA and Chief Compliance Officer for Gruden...

The NFL is getting weird.
It is probably  
pjcas18 : 9/7/2019 5:20 pm : link
impossible to prove, but I'm going to say there was some tampering going on here.

this contract happened way too quickly IMO.
I think Gruden  
Rflairr : 9/7/2019 5:20 pm : link
Might go kick Mayock’s ass tonight
Ocho Cinco was a bust for the Patriots, too.
