RaidersAreOne Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Would be awesome to not have paid him a cent tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I wouldn't suspend him week 1. See if he's willing to play. If he doesn't, that solves your problem. Just cut him then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Saturday afternoon seems to be the deadline on when the Raiders would need to release him. After Saturday they're stuck with that salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opeth0500 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I say we just cut him. Yea we’re gonna suck but we probably weren’t gonna make playoffs with him anyway. I don’t want another Sapp ordeal with him blowing up on the sidelines when we are losing. Let someone else deal with his BS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting him stay and play is saying we’re ok with going after Mayock in that way, putting himself above the team, and also will show we can’t and won’t control him in the future. Get him out of here. Period. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I don’t think anyone could say there isn’t going to be another problem somewhere along the line, I’d cut bait now tbh and concentrate on who we have got. If you're correct that could be a plausible answer to the dilemma. On ESPN's NFL Live Steve Young gave a plea for a reasonable resolution to this matter. Bring him in, make him gravel on the carpet, have him apologize etc. Get his agent involved. Ask him to attend anger therapy (sarcasm). I question if there is any hope of making Brown conform like everyone else. I don't want to lose him and if you can protect your monetary interest the Raiders should take those steps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Period. If this would have happened behind closed doors and none of the players saw it. Maybe I could see them fixing this, but for this to happen in front of the whole team there's really only one choice to make. Won't be a good look for the Raiders and sends a bad message to the rest of the players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Period. Dude got hot. In the NFL, I've seen incidents of actual violence (e.g. breaking nose, fist fights, etc.). This, while definitely something you don't want, seems more like a petty argument. I agree that it's nothing to scoff at, but cutting him seems really extreme this early on. I would give him an ultimatum and lay down a final warning. If he doesn't agree, cut him. If not, put him on "probationary" status and let him play. That may solve things. If the dude cares about football, he'll put all this aside and put his helmet on. If he doesn't care enough to let things go and apologize, like I said, you have your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let someone else deal with his BS. Actually I don't think we'll suck without AB. We have receivers. However, I want him on the team. Can we deal with him over a 17 week season. Probably not. Can you imagine the turmoil? So we need a cheap & effective out if that's the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly especially with a ton of young guys if you let this slide then you approve of this type of behavior and in a testosterone filled sport like football you basically committing career suicide. ESP for a rookie like mike may you can’t fold. Edited September 5, 2019 by NCOUGHMAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d make AB work it out too. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 So AB is not expected to play week 1 and will stay away from the team while Drew Rosenhaus tries to put out another fire AB started. AB sure does make Rosenhause earn his money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
