-He was expressing interest in the Pats with tweets last year;
-He knew that there was no way in heck that the Steelers would trade him to Pats;
Is this all by design?
Internet stories are in abundance. It is far fetched that AB decides that he would think it would be a great idea to give up 30 million guaranteed money to come to the Patriots for 2-3 million/year.Maybe there's something to that crazy internet theory that this was an elaborate scheme for AB to get to the Pats.

Corey Dillon: you cannot seriously be comparing Dillon to AB. The only thing I remember about Dillon is he had an off field DV incident. He’s not anywhere near the headcase AB is. He had that off field incident but was a fantastic runner.Bill has taken on Corey Dillon. Bill has taken on Albert Haynesworth. Bill has taken on Josh Gordon. Bill has taken on Chad Johnson. There is no reason to think that AB would somehow be an automatic "NO".
Moss wasn't the greatest WR ever but I wouldn't argue with anyone who called him #2.
Josh Gordon did in something like 2 days.........

This makes me think this whole thing is more about the $500k then the ~$50k in fines.Hilarious! He may not get a dime from the Raiders. Not a single dime. Holy cow.
“PFT has obtained an analyzed a full copy of the contract. The $1 million signing bonus contained in the deal actually took the form of a pair of guaranteed $500,000 workout bonuses for 2019 and 2020. The 2019 payment nevertheless hinged upon Brown participating in at least 85 percent of the 2019 offseaon program.
Per a league source, NFLPA records reveal that he did not earn the $500,000, which means that he failed to participate in at least 85 percent of the offseason program. Thus, to date, Brown has gotten no payment from the Raiders under the contract.
And he may ultimately get none. Brown’s remaining guarantees of $29.625 million (2019 salary, 2020 workout bonus, 2020 salary) can be wiped out if he’s suspended. Actually, the language of the contract allows the guarantees to be voided even without a suspension; the behavior for which he was fined $53,950 already puts him in default.”
Antonio Brown may end up getting no payment at all from the Raiders

Yes I, like 99.99% of football fans, consider Jerry Rice the greatest WR of all time.You're a Captain Stickum guy I take it?
With the announcement of the fact that the Raiders can can his sorry ass without paying him a dime, you can start the countdown before Drew Rosenhaus is taking his client, by the hand, up to Mike Mayock's office and then to the lockerroom with AB in SEVERE mea culpa mode, and try to save his massive commission.This makes me think this whole thing is more about the $500k then the ~$50k in fines.
Congrats on coming up with some obscure analytics metric that makes Moss look good but really only tells us that he played with crappy WRs.
