Antonio Brown

[MainePatsFan26]

The noise will die down i guaranteed you that. You won’t have a woman come out of the blue accusing brown.

Guilty or not, it makes sense for any other accuser to wait until Brown signs with another team. She can either force him to settle to avoid another controversy or derail another stint.

With the commissioner holding the threat of the exempt list over a potential signing, I'm not sure who is going to be willing to sign him to a contract knowing that cap space will likely go kaput.

Brown may have to wait for Goodell to give a little more clarification to teams. In the meantime, Brown will probably threaten an underage pregnant teen, be exposed as the leader of a Ponzi scheme, or get involved in a dog fighting scandal.

Violated the law? LMFAO, entire league needs to be on exempt list, including the owners. NFL is a f&^cking joke.

They’re so inconsistent . It’s a joke. It will be interesting to see if any team signs him. I think they will wait it out but you never know.

I think this group of receivers is fine without brown but I do worry about Gordon who is also unreliable. They lose him the receiving group it's going to struggle.

I would have agreed with you when he first came back. But here's the thing. The Gordon of 2019 seems a LOT different that last year's version. Last year Gordon was stiff and always seemed uncomfortable in his own skin. His media appearances where short and almost scripted. This year, however, he seems, at least to me, much more comfortable in his surroundings and his skin. He seems to be bigger, in better shape and more prepared to go through the rigors of an NFL season both on the field and off.

So while I went into the season giving him a 50-50 shot at being here for the playoffs, I would up grade at percentage a lot. Now, even with this short time frame, I would put the odds now at 80-20% that he makes through the season.

It's just my opinion and based on MY observations. But we shall see how it is in January,

Brown will never go on the exempt list! I guaranteed you that. Maybe they suspend him. Maybe. We will see how it plays out.

@rochrist listen Rochrist, we have just been through a very stressful scenario with a team member and don't need **** from you right now.

For the betterment of the team stand down now please and buttom your mouth.

You have in the past been very very negative, and have singlehandidly derail near Super Bowl teams (2007, 2011, 2012, and 2015, and we simply must shut your hole)

They have a first round pick eligible to replace him in 6 weeks.

There's no telling how Harry will perform. It takes awhile to learn the Patriots playbook. Indications from preseason were that he struggled some.

The key to this season is stabilizing the OL and ensuring Gordon doesn't get suspended. Because than teams will double team Edelman and force Dorsett to beat them. Receiving depth is suddenly a concern.

 

[rochrist]

I get your point that the Patriots own the Bills, but -- Brady has lost a few meaningful games to them. I know, I was at two of them, and it was brutal both times.

Since he's 30 and 3 against them, you were at 66 percent of the losses. Might I suggest you not attend any more Bills games.

Brady is the first QB to win that many games against an opponent since the merger, and he's also the third winningest QB to play in the Bills stadium.

Jeff Howe at The Athletic is reporting Kraft was "enraged" enraged by Brown's latest antics leading to the decision to cut Brown.

How Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick arrived at decision to...

"Patriots owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick jointly determined Friday that wide receiver Antonio Brown had overstayed his welcome.

Kraft, who was on a business trip, became enraged* Friday when he heard the details of Brown’s most recently reported incident of text messaging harassment of a former female acquaintance. Kraft and Belichick spoke and decided together to officially release Brown just 11 days after the Patriots signed the controversial star receiver, according to sources."

What I take from this is since he is a free agent the NFL won’t put him on the exempt list. Would make no sense, he is not part of any team in the NFL. The following wording seems to say if you sign him you will most likely be paying him to sit because we are eventually coming after him. I think they gave the Pats a heads up that the sh$t had hit the fan. That and he probably did not react kindly to the Patriots telling him to cease and desist.

 

[patfanken]

Dorsett has to show more consistency. That’s the key word consistency. He had a good first game.

YOU sir need to get your eyes checked and your TV fixed, because if there has been one thing you could say about Phillip Dorsett over the past 2 seasons with the Pats is that he's been CONSISTENT.

Now go and get those 2 things checked before you make a bigger fool out of yourself than you already have. Its for your own good, so please.

Great in depth piece by Miguel ...BSJ well worth the cost.

PatsCap: Breaking down the salary cap implications of Antonio Brown's release | Boston Sports Journal

According to my numbers, which do not yet account for the Scooby Wright signing, the Patriots now currently have a little over than $2.2 million in cap space. The $2.2 million may not be enough for these in-season operating expenses:

Agreed.

Most toddlers don't like to be told to play well with others.

As we are seeing with Gordon, who has 5 rec for 92 yds. So far he has not looked irreplaceable.

They will investigate and see if they find something. Frankly it’s all bs! Why wasn’t he put on the exempt list when they met for over 10 hours with the rape accuser? They probably found nothing. This has to do with the fact that brown when after that second accuser.

Understandable. Kraft knows better than anyone that if you get into trouble you just STFU and let your lawyers earn their keep.

With the release of Antonio Brown the #Patriots go from being the favorites to win the #SuperBowl to being the favorites to win the Super Bowl.

Really? You really believe that? He’s going to be a 3rd option for this team. I always saw him as a 4th option . A 4th wr on most teams. Dorsett has never gone over 500 yards thus far in 5 seasons. This was a number 1 pick. Maybe this year he can get 600 yards or better.
