I mean that's not exactly going out on a limb. Of course there's a chance. You don't have to be an NFL insider to throw around Vague shite like that.

It started with, 'Wow, this guy's a little out there but we can manage it,'" Silver explained on NFL NOW.

Then they went the good cop/bad cop, with Mike Mayock obviously playing the bad cop. I can not see this at this point being salvageable. This is a situation where you have one player adhering to a completely different set of rules in multiple areas. ...


So the Raiders basically took the “how to deal with AB” playbook from the Steelers, ran it at 5X speed and now....are in the exact same situation the Steelers were in 8 months ago.

If he gets dropped for conduct detrimental to the team, I’m having a hard time imagining anyone else taking a chance on him.

Marquise Brown is Brown's Cuz... on the Ravens... Not sure why Ravens would want AB near him at this point and poison the young kid.

Could you imagine AB wanting to catch passes from Lamar Jackson? That would get ugly. Quick.

Brown has been with the Raiders for a few months and has generated more BS drama than TO did during his two years with the Eagles. I’m also pretty sure that TO apologized to the Eagles and McNabb.

TO was a douche bag. Brown is acting like he is legit insane.

TO called out Mcnabb then punched Hugh Douglas
He then almost OD’d on painkillers
And his apology never specified Mcnabb he actually left it out in an apology Rosenhaus wrote for him
He was also traded to Baltimore before this and demanded to not play for them

TO was legit insane too

I was listening to "Fantasy Baby" today on spotify (local fantasy football podcast (couple guys from Baton Rouge do like 2 shows a week)), and the Co-host was saying that he thought AB was a poison to the Raiders and that if you drafted him on your fantasy team you should bench him. He was adamant that his antics would carry over onto the field and his production would be low. The host seemed to disagree and there was a little fun back and forth. The co-host, "Junior" is going to rub this one in his buddies face on their next show!

I don’t know man maybe.

Maybe someone looks at this situation with the Raiders, a situation that Brown 100% created by doing the exact same crap he was doing with the Steelers and says, “Lets give him $30M guaranteed to come here because it’ll be different here”...and it will have to be that much because Mr Big Chest isn’t going to take a pay cut over none of this.

So yes, I’ll concede that it could happen. But I’m really just having a hard time seeing it.

Gotcha
I understand his a nutjob and POS
But teams have literally given chances to guys who couldn’t stay on the field because of legal issues

He has the talent, someone will give him another chance if they cut him

Maybe people can gain an appreciation for how Tomlin was able to keep this guy docile for most of his career there. Ryan Clark says his attitude is nothing new.

I’d rather have Keelan Doss than him. AB is a bitch.

This can only end with AB going to the Patriots and balling out like 2007 Moss, right?

Id be surprised if any team signs him after this unless they get desperate


Teams sign Josh Gordon. He's nowhere near the level of AB on the field. Someone will sign AB or trade for him.



From all accounts everyone who has played with or coached Josh Gordon loves Josh Gordon. A guy with a history of severe drug problems is in no way comparable to a drama queen all about me don't give a shite about the team diva like Brown. Eventually his shite will wear out his welcome anywhere. See guys like TO and Chad Johnson who probably had a few more good tears left when their careers ended.

Comparing AB to Josh Gordon is an absolutely disgrace and insult to Josh Gordon
