    Think the $200k fine was for the confrontation.

    Antonio, Gordon, and Edelman are going to be unstoppable.

    Not yet. Could have had $500k already had he attended 85% of training camp.

    Apparently whether he gets paid for this week or not will be contended, but so far they haven't paid him anything.

    I think he actually owes them money.

    AB is a helluva talent one of the best WR the NFL has ever seen.

    But he’s following the trend of diva WR like TO, Moss, Ochocinco.....

    He’ll get another chance my guess is the Patriots for some reason, they always win lol. I wonder how much cap room they have right now?

    But the way he’s acting once his skills diminish even a little he’s not going to find any team to give him a job even if he can still be a 60 catch 800 yard guy.

    I’ve never seen someone just throw away 30 million for no reason. He’s been in the NFL long enough to know how this business works. It’s a team sport being the best gives you some leeway but you can’t be a total distraction with something new every single day.

    Makes me appreciate how in house Tomlin was able to keep it for the Steelers. Dude is an elite coach just because of that.

    I just don’t remember AB being like this 2-3 years ago. Something changed with him the last year and an half. He’s feeling himself a little to much. Maybe this will humble him when he sees no team is about to pay him what he just had, atleast this year from the raiders.

    He could have pocketed 50 million dollars before turning 34 and gotten another 30 million from some other team. He’s potentially costing himself 80 millions dollars and he’s already made 70 million he was so close to not having to him worry about money ever again and he’s pissing it away because of ego.

    Nobody Tom Brady included is bigger than the logo his agent is terrible for not getting him in check.

    Especially if he still has to pay those fines to continue in the NFL... I'd be surprised if you have to with contract voided, but anyone know if he still does?


    Oh yeah remember tomlin was getting KILLED for his mishandling of AB at the end- in retrospect that is probably the absolute best any coach could ever handle such a tornado of insanity. He deserves a raise.

    Belichick hardly smiles, but this definitely got at least a chuckle out of him. Jesus.
