Art_Vandalay Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I doubt he makes it through the season. You're telling me he's not going to complain, show up late to meetings, sleep in meetings, or post anything dumb on social media? Okay... And lol at this being coordinated. Drew was part of a plan that involved losing millions and millions of dollars? Cmon now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Prince Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 So the pats are the only team that offered brown a deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teen Girl Squad Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Does the NFL have any real recourse for this without any direct evidence? I don't even care that he went to New England but more that he torpedo'd the Raiders' offseason in the process (including losing draft picks). Sure Gruden is a meme coach but thats a onerous precedent to set. There is probably nothing they can do but I wouldn't be surprised if they addressed in the next CBA.

Drew was part of a plan that involved losing millions and millions of dollars? Cmon now. We shall see. Keep in mind, this can actually work out for the best with Brown financially speaking. His deal with the Raiders was basically 3 years, 50 million. His 19 / 20 base salaries were guaranteed (14.625M + 14.5M) plus his signing bonus. He gave up his workout bonus (had to attend 85% of the workouts). If he lasts the entire year, he gets 15 million this year and is a free agent after the year is over. If he has another great season on the field, he's immediately going to point to julio's new deal (22m). Now, there's a lot of ifs with that scenario, so certainly risk, but financially speaking, this is not a guaranteed loss at all for Drew / AB.

VigilantZombie Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 15 minutes ago, BayRaider said: Robert Littal @BSO I just got a text from someone I trust in the league and they believe this was all coordinated. That at some point AB got word that Pats would sign him if he ever got released. Verified Twitter Accounts posting everywhere that sources are confirming this was 100% coordinated by AB and Drew. The only question is, was any member of the Patriot FO in on it? If this is true and can be, to any extent, proven expect NE to lose multiple draft picks and the potential of this contract to be denied for 'finalization' by the league.

I don't think they will end up proving the Pats were involved but I do expect a investgation and AB to be suspended 8 games the start of next year.

VigilantZombie Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I mean, I'm certainly not passing judgement either or accusing NE of anything but it wasnt even an hr after he was able to sign elsewhere that he did so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does he get away racial slurs, holding a team hostage and gets a raise Brown’s getting paid almost the same amount as he was in Oakland for 2019. Now he’s set to make $0 in 2020 as opposed to $17.5M and $0 in 2021 as opposed to $17.5M. If he gets cut today, he’ll have made $9M from NE. If he got cut in Oakland (without the drama), he’d have made over $30M. Not exactly a raise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think it's going to happen, but as we've seen in the Brady's situation in the deflagate, if Roger Goodell thinks it's been coordinated and decides to punish, even if there's no evidence, I do not think anyone can stop Goodell to do that if he want to do that, since Goodell has all the power since the CBA in 2011. I still do not think it's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can have more next year on the open market, especially with the contracts that Michael Thomas and Julio Jones have had in the last month.

Soko Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Anyway, I have to just laugh at the Pats-paranoia at this point. Gordon doesn’t get reinstated on any other team, just NE. Pats signed a FA, must investigate. NE already established interest in Brown in the spring. Brown seemed to be interested too. They were denied, no biggy. We all agree Brown was a head case prior to joining Oakland, right? So he goes to a new environment after getting everything his way in Pittsburgh, and starts a similar narrative in California. He gets himself cut, which you could assume was done on purpose if you want, and then NE signs him shortly after. How is that confusing? They had interest already and they had it when he was cut. Oh, the timing, right? Oh it happened too quickly. Weren’t we expecting Washington to make a deal for him shortly after 4PM? Or maybe Seattle? But nah, it’s NE, so it’s fishy. I don’t like Brown at all and didn’t want NE to get him. But I’m forced to accept him on the roster and hope for the best. The paranoia though...

The one thing I don't doubt is his talent, so am I going to be shocked if he signs a 3 year, 63 million dollar deal after this season? Not at all. And that would be raise. Lots of moving parts there, but he's going after what he wanted, and if you're going to do that, there's almost always risk involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
