If I’m any NFL owner not named Kraft, I’d like to know the answers to those questions. I think, given the history of the Patriots, those are all legitimate questions and should be answered. However, as much as I despise the Patriots, I still want those answers before making any assumptions. 1 1
Chris66 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 There is probably 20 articles on the timeline of the signing.
TheFunPolice Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 From what ABs stepfather said I wouldn't be 100% sure his family would cover for him Still, it's NE so he'll be fine, they will be unstoppable and win the Superbowl and rub it in everyone's faces again. But Mahomes will be MVP baby! Lol... I thought I couldn't hate NE any more than I already did... How can that team keep going on forever?!
SoTier Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 1 hour ago, chris heff said: And why aren’t the other owners up in arms? I believe Brown and his agent orchestrated the whole thing. This could be a template for star players. Because there's no hard evidence that the Pats actually colluded with Brown to pull this off? Aside from speculation about the speed of the contract settlement, there's nothing to link the Pats to Brown's actions in Oakland. Moreover, I think a lot of teams simply aren't -- and never were -- interested in bringing in Brown because of his actions both in Pittsburgh last season and with Oakland. Now, with the civil suit against Brown, they have even less interest in Brown --- and some are probably thinking that maybe Kraft and Belichick have finally outsmarted themselves if the NFL investigation leads to Brown being unable to play until the lawsuit is settled.

My understanding is AB and his stepdad hanent seen each other since he was 15.

The whole situation smells The latest episode is just a Bill Belichick diversion to me... It's been said by some people in the media that AB was the smartest guy one room meaning he played the NFL & the Raiders both initially wanting to go to the Pats needing a way to get out of the Steelers camp so he made a ruckus in order to get out there & still got paid . Then just doing the same thing with the Raiders not really wanting to be there causing as much of a disturbance as he could to get thrown out of there & knowing with the communication of his agent Rosehaus that the Pats were interested making enough noise to get tossed . Now he's where he wanted to be all along . In theory i'm thinking they could be right & he just made the Steelers, Raiders & the NFL look like jack asses ! If he is a model team mate now then i would believe it to be true ...
offyourocker Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 As much as I would like to see AB fall or fail, this accuser sounds like a gold digger and I don’t see this going anywhere 1

Well, you're not an owner and given the spasmodic nature of your inquire, you need a serious time out.
Kirby Jackson Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 1 hour ago, Putin said: How close ? If he’s willing to snitch on his cousin I doubt it. AB was on the sidelines for his OU games last year. I don’t think that they are some strange distant cousins.
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 1 hour ago, I am the egg man said: Fact is Brown was free to sign with any team he wanted. That he was officially released at 4:15 and signed by the Patriots within minutes makes the NFL look like a deer in headlights. But that's how it works. Hard to believe that all of this happened in a really short period of time, including negotiating and writing a contract. If there was ever a smoking gun to investigate tampering, this would be the one to look at. Add this to the AB circus surrounding the sexual assault investigation and it makes me very glad that the Bills didn't end up with this guy. 1

Nextmanup Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Can we please make that Antonio Brown sub-forum now please, so I don't have to see this crap constantly on a Bills message board? Thank you. 2

DuckyBoys Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 in the end Antonio just kissed all his endorsements goodbye and Roger and the NFL will end up with a black eye regardless. These stories just make the league look bad.

The whole situation smells The latest episode is just a Bill Belichick diversion to me... I agree, there had to be some kind of tampering to get a player who was released signed in 1hour. If Brown had no idea he was being released how the hell did the Patriots get on this before anyone else. This just looks really bad.
The Wiz Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 The NFL with move quickly forward... to sweep this under the rug as quickly as possible. 1
