HOUSE Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 With his playing career on hold as the NFL investigates him, free agent receiver Antonio Brown and his legal team now turn their attention to the courts. Brown's long-awaited grievances against the Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots have been filed on his behalf by the NFL Players Association, sources say. His appeal, seeking to recoup roughly $40 million in unpaid salary, fines and voided guarantees, likely won't be heard by the system arbitrator until the spring, sources say. It figures to be a major uphill battle to recoup the entire sum. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001062055/article/antonio-brown-files-grievances-seeking-more-than-40m
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) As the players association is handling the grievance, it’s covered by their funds. If AB launches his own individual actions, I would advise the suits to get the legal fees up front. Edited October 6, 2019 by Ridgewaycynic2013 3 1

AB will hang himself in the media before this even goes to court making it even harder to be signed by an NFL team. Of course that will be the next lawsuit, Collusion by NFL owners ..

Mister Defense Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 Almost feel sorry for the guy; could have been a hall of famer, one of the best ever. But he is a nut job. And, now, a pathetic one at that. 3

In fact, throw him some punitive damages. Today is is my day of rage. 2
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 Perhaps he can arrive to the arbitration session in an Elon Musk Space X rocket? Someone get on the horn and see what it will take to swap out the hot air balloon rental? Or perhaps as part of a traveling carnival? That seems more appropriate... 1 hour ago, Ridgewaycynic2013 said: Redeemable at the NFL store. I would suggest AB jerseys, off the clearance rack. The $300 will go further. And a high compensatory draft pick to NE...that only seems reasonable under the circumstances 1

I don’t think he will get anything from Oakland as that was prior to the season and he went insane, but NE signed him with that knowledge already in place. i think NE will be on the hook for most of the 20 million guaranteed and I don’t think Kraft will be happy to pay
HOUSE Posted October 6, 2019 Author Posted October 6, 2019 Anyone else notice that AB always drops a bomb shell right before Sunday games? I think that makes 4 in a row
