Well of course.
He uses us and we use him to get banner #7.
Sounds fair to me. Worked for Revis.

Well of course.
And yet you hit it with an angry ratingwhich certainly doesn't help your intellectual credibility any. I hold very much the opposite position you suggested. The point I took issue with was the statement "I doubt metoo would get involved unless there was actual evidence." In so doing unlike most posters, for instance you talking about employment at will, I cited well known and easily verifiable instances when innocent men were brutally metoo'd over less substantial allegations than have been made against Brown, one of them to the point where he commited suicide. It is preposterous to think the runaway train that metoo has become wouldn't be all over AB without evidence when a lack of it didn't keep it from destroying more than one man's career and driving another poor guy to his death over far less. I realize rational responses aren't the norm in the crap fest you and your AB at all costs brethren turn every one of these discussions into but had you looked at them in anything other than a combative way the thought being presented should have been abundantly obvious.
I've been clear from the outset I thought signing AB after the crapfests in Pittsburgh and Oakland was courting disaster. He may have the right to remain silent but he obviously lacks the capacity and loose cannons just don't belong here. But once he was signed it was what it was. Once the civil suit became public knowledge he should have been cut not for the allegations it contained but for withholding his documented knowledge it was imminent during contract negotiations. The league's own mouthpiece said the team and the league were blindsided by it. AB was under no gag order as the arbitration period had ended with the accuser stating she was going to court. He willfully chose to withhold the existence of a materially adverse condition and that is by any definition acting in bad faith. The Pats didn't cut him at that time, likely because arguably the damage was done but still it was a mistake.
If at that point he had just behaved like someone pretending to be a rational human being, which clearly he is not, and kept quietly to himself by issuing nothing other than "I'm just here to play football and won't be addressing outside issues" type comments as his representatives no doubt advised him he probably would have escaped that week. He just had to go at the artist who had already shown she was not shy about speaking out about his behavior. Whether you interpret those texts as threats or not clearly others have and AB himself put those bullets in the gun then doubled down on it by urinating on Kraft on his way out of Dodge.
No matter how you stack it if you were Kraft or the NFL at this point AB has shown himself too volatile a fruit to be worth the squeeze, that's just good business sense. Speaking of which, business is business but AB couldn't help himself and made it personal with Kraft, what more do you need to understand he just isn't stable enough to roll the dice on?
wildcat?
Ol' Bob's pious move to dump AB is looking pretty brilliant right about now. We certainly couldn't use one of the top two or three wideouts in the league right now.
It is disliked for good writing. That post was too lucid.
