Per Adam Schefter.

I wonder who AB will land with?

[John Anthony]

Not sure he has any interest in playing football. Wonder how many fans will be trying to trade their jersey in?

Goal head case. Can't come in and be a good team mate for 30 million.

I truly hope the teams in the league treat him like Kaeperncik and he never plays again.

[mcpapa]

That didn’t last long.

He's much better than Kaep, so that won't happen.

I agree with Deuce and in general terms I don't like it when the establishment does that to anyone.

He’s going to land in New England isn’t he?

[TheDeuce]

He’s going to land in New England isn’t he?

 

If he does, do we think he's going to choose to act right, or continue this nonsense?

Yep!

24 hours later and would have cost the Raiders close to $30,000,000. He did them a favor asking for his release this morning on Twitter.

Not sure if it was a favor or his attempt to confuse/manipulate the narrative. Consensus, from a business perspective the Raiders were probably going to suspend him today (Stephen A. Smith opinion yesterday) thus terminating all guarantees and termination clauses. Knowing that, AB tries to create a scenario where he can negotiate a new contract with those guarantees. Going to be a sideshow behind closed doors with a few GMs.

I wouldn't want him on my team, although I agree with Deuce he's too talented not to be picked up.

It is hard for me to imagine a franchise as successful as New England locking themselves into anything knowing they may have to part ways with him too. In other words, I doubt New England would offer top money/guarantees.
