Just saw on Ian Rappaport twitter

Lol

[jvan1973]

What a weird saga.     NO we shouldn't sign him

[Chrisaaron1023]

Lol sucks Antonio.. should've just shut up and played in Pitt

[chad72]

If his agent cares about him beyond $$$, he should get him mental health help, just like Josh Gordon sought his.

Heck all he had to do is shut up and played in NE.  The texts he sent got him the boot and lost him 10 million guaranteed.

[Detectacon]

Hahahahahahahahaha!

Agreed.  Do NOT want.

[Dogg63]

Perfect outcome! Hope he stays unemployed.

[runthepost]

Redskins will sign him now

If that was a thing that was ever likely to happen, I think he'd still be a Patriot.

 

As I understand it, he issued threats against his accuser early this morning.  That's more than enough to get released from any organization in football.

A leopard doesn’t change its spots. Are you really surprised? I get it, you wanted this reclamation project like some other ones to work out for your team but this one was beyond repair.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

His NFL career is done. If he can’t make it with NE no team will be able to make it work.

Oh God i was happy when they signed him I was hoping he be smart and just shut up and play football.  Mind you these texts were done after he was signed.. that was a No No with the Pats.

 

mind you they didn’t need him. There are not many teams who could challenge them before well 8 or 9.

Exactly! If your an owner would you think your HC would be able to reign him in if the best HC right now couldn’t? 

[Imgrandojji]

Guys like Ramsey are one thing.  I honestly think Ramsey started agitating for a trade mostly because he was afraid he was in danger of wasting his prime in a bad situation.  There was a rationality behind his decision to want a trade.  It was selfish, but it was there. Ramsey at least mostly has his head down and is focused on getting himself into a good situation.  He knows where the line is and mostly stays on the right side of it. 

Brown is just insane at this point.  I'm not even sure he knows what he wants, and he has zero self control.  Brown doesn't care where the line is and hasn't for years.  He just shot his way out of 2 different good situations because he couldn't keep his mouth closed.  May he enjoy living in the Kaepernick Zone.

Wait! There are rules? Boundaries? Expectations?

And they apply, to various degrees, to everyone?

[2006Coltsbestever]

I am actually proud of the Pats for doing this. Brown thinks he is above the NFL, that is clear to most. He dissed the Steelers and Raiders. He is a Diva and has sexual assault allegations against him. It took a guy like Bill Belichick to say goodbye!

For Antonio Brown....you might as well be speaking Latin.

 

He is a study in narcissism like no other.

At the very very least not until these sexual assault allegations are dealt with. He's also on the backend of his prime, so if it takes some time for these to be dealt with, will teams ever want to take on that personality for anything less than top 10 WR production?

[Imgrandojji]

Belichick didn't screw around.  The deal was pretty clear, put one toe out of line, you're gone.  He put a toe out of line.  He's gone.  That's how good coaches and GMs work.  Everyone is accountable for their actions.

 

I like to think Ballard would have done the exact same thing.

[John Hammonds]

Must.  Not.  Rejoice.  In.  Another's.  Misfortune.

 

Nope.  Failed.

[EastStreet]

this is simply LOL

 

i doubt he's done, but this is a huge hit to his career. he better seek some time with a shrink or life coach.....  what a dumb sheet.

[John Hammonds]

Mike Tomlin is laughing his ar$e off.

Tens of millions of dollars thrown away beeause you can't keep off social media and focus on the job?

 

There's no word harsh enough.  "*" doesn't even come close.

And he really looked good catching passes from Brady.... could have been a great year for him.

[Colt.45]

AB. You had ONE job.

[IinD]

Let's get that 100 page thread going again calling Ballard and many of us on this board * who didn't want this guy.

 

Should be fun.. Lol

I would have loved hearing the convo between Brown and the hoodie today.

[krunk]

Knew it wouldn't be long because they really didn't need him in the first place.  Add the rape stuff and it's a very short leash.

BB: Antonio come to my office

 

AB: (enters office close door)

 

BB: remember how I said if you messed up your gone and you lose all the money

 

AB: Yes coach

 

 BB: you didn’t mess up, you totally messed up your cut and we aren’t paying you.. Good Bye..

I like to believe BB was forced to read him the released text messages.   Man that would be funny.

You think Bill would have said that much?  

 

I did think if anyone could reign him in it would be the Pats.  I also don't think Bill would allow any one player to disrupt the team.

 

Brown had a short leash and he had to jerk on it.

[ReMeDy]

Belichick: "Is it true what I heard?"

AB: "Umm, yes coach, it's true. I threatened my accuser over the phone."

Belichick: "W-WHAT!? No, I was referring to you farting in that doctor's face! What are you talking about!?"

AB: "Oops..."

He said in Interviews he sees himself in Las Vegas playing..... No one chooses to go to that raiders team if they are worried about wasting their prime..... His motives have nothing to do with competitiveness, just watch some interviews.  He's got the smarts of a turnip.
