Antonio Brown

[Zuma]

He is so Bizzaro-World Patriot.

This will take some getting used to.

I seriously feel like this hasn't happened. I'll wake up tomorrow and it was all a dream or something. It just feels so weird. This season is going to be beyond strange.

There's no way AB is going to conform to the Pats system. They are going to need to let him do his own thing and allow him to break rules or it won't work. Look at his comments in the instagram post right before he was released

It's all about him and not a team. He blatantly says so.

You are going to piss a lot of people off when you start doing what's best for you....And that's fine!

And he clearly says he is not going to conform to a system.

I have worked my whole life to prove that the system is blind to see talent like mines.Now that everyone sees it, they want me to conform to that same system that has failed me all those years.

I think we have all experienced that one job we hated and just had to find a way out.

Absolutely.

After almost 10 years Randy didn't quit on the NEP because he hated football or the team, its because he didn't get paid and he pouted. I wish he was a bit more mature about it but whatever.

Yep.

Just gotta roll with it.

Didn't Randy apologize and express his regret in screwing up his place in NE? I believe he took all the blame IIRC, agreed though, he def should have handled it better

This from a Twitter account.......
Patriots will likely end up getting a comp pick for Brown in 2020 to make it even sweeter.

 

[Jackson 2]

I hate this.

 

[MainePatsFan26]

Earlier today, I was convinced this was a bad move for the Patriots. Maybe it still is. However, whatever. He wanted his freedom from the Rapist and Clown Posse (aka Raiders), and he did everything to earn that freedom.

Yep I believe he did.

I'm sure some of you have seen some of the comments on Twitter about how the Patriots orchestrated the entire thing. Once again, the Pats are in the limelight of a cheating accusation .

"Who would turn down $30 million dollars guaranteed for $15 million with stipulations? We need the nfl to look into this. Wouldn't get past me if the Patriots cheated again. "

Had to be some tampering. Rosenhaus? C’mon lol.

He said that was one of the things he had regretted the most. We do stupid stuff when we were young too. I’m sure he’ll talk to AB about it.

I just hope AB listens.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

How long until his social media presence dies off?

 

[Angelpats]

I just hope AB listens.

Though I like this signing I hope it’s just for a year or two because it’s much more preferable if we actually develop one of our young wrs.

If he stays in line and still is an All-Pro he can stay as long as he wants.

The one thing that concerns me is his record of publishing internal communications whether it's the locker room in Pittsburgh or the letters from Mayock or phone call with Gruden to his social media. That said, I have an open mind to wait and see where this goes

 

[slam]

BTW, has anyone thought of the fun reads in both Oakland and Pitt, if AB shows up at his first presser and says nothing but Patriotisms?

• "Just taking it one day at a time."
• "I already addressed that."
• "A lot of great players in the opposing locker room."
• "Anything I can do to help the team."

If Brown deletes all his social media accounts to conform to the Patriot Way I expect riots in Pittsburgh.

I can hear it now

Bill: I need you to deativate MyFace.
AB: Wha?
Bill: CandyGram too
AB: Wha?
Bill: How about InstaTweet?
AB: Who?
