Its all in how he used the term and since it was derogatory he should be held as the same standard as a white man using the n word to a black man. Not even gonna elaborate on this anymore because everyone is so racially sensitive these days. Well stated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Just now, whatdrought said: I was under the impression (and I think I made this up in my mind anyways) that their timeline to get out of the guarantees would have been before week one... But I guess it makes sense that if he acts up again they can show the pattern of behavior and then take the money back... No, you didn't at all make it up out of your mind. It's standard per the CBA that a vested veteran's entire salary becomes guaranteed if he is on the team for week one. But apparently there is also standard language permitting the team to void guarantees for other documentable reasons such as "conduct detrimental to the team", and the team still has the right to suspend or fine the player (guarantees not withstanding). Some players may have language in their contract saying that the money is guaranteed no matter what, but apparently Brown does not, showing that the OAK organization does have some functioning neuronal circuits.

I got it.... That makes sense. That actually does change my opinion then... other than the fact that they should just cut him on principle, it does make sense to keep him if he's gonna pretend to toe the line for the time being- as long as that out is there.

LB3 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I really hope that if he does in fact play, they leave him out of the gameplan and target him zero times. The meltdown will be delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be better off without him and gaining draft picks and cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I hate seeing race being used, especially in the national media’s kind of coverage. But if this situation happened in reverse I could only imagine the 24/7 coverage on it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left that post on my computer screen without reading it so I could go out and mow. So when my wife walked into the room, she read the screen. I don't know how to explain this. Male humor?

Doc Brown Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 There was a former player source that worked for the media who Tomlin told that "you had no idea what we kept hidden and put put with" when it came to Antonio Brown. I think the Raiders are learning that the hard way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
