Default Asante filed a grievance? (NEM sources)

I was just on NEM's *********** site and saw this thread that NEM created about Asante Filing a grievance....
this is what it says:


I just received a phone call telling me that Asant Samuel has filed a grievance, against the Patriots, with the NFL Players Association.

If so, TRADE HIS ***** OUT OF HERE.....


Has anyone heard anything about this?
Can he really file a grievance because we didn't offer him what he wanted?

I'd take that "phone call" with a grain of salt.

...make that an industrial size carton...

Ok let's assume it's true.

What could he file a grievance on?

I know pretty much nothing about grievances and i don't understand what could be the reason and if he could even get anywhere by doing this.

My cousins neighbor's sister heard the same thing from her dentist's mother.

Maybe it is true.


Maybe it's not true.

Maybe it is.

Maybe he filed a grievance and then called NEM.

Maybe NEM actually thought Asante called him.

Wouldn't surprise me...

Holy crap! My dentist's step-sister's mother's aunt heard the same thing!

Small world.

Maybe the Pats typed up the tender offer on their own stationery instead of using the official form for tender offers? This worked for Tod Sauerbrun. Another thought is that filing a grievance worked for Deon Branch and got him traded. A possible grievance might scare the Pats into trading Asante.

been SOOOO Long since NEM and those type rumors....God love him...always a bit fun on the offseason....makes it go by...SOOO fast....why a grievance?? almost 8 million not enough??? Can get 4 or 5 times that but the team will not give NE a number one?? Wants to complain that his tatoo was misread ALL the time??? Wants to invoke a rule that he can sit out almost all games and get the full amount of money?? Just plain silly...but it was my grandmother's hairdresser's cousin who overheard it from Asante's agent's brother in law's mecahnic.
