Agent: Focused on future and signing with new team
The Oakland Raiders have announced they’ve released wide receiver Antonio Brown and will be a free agent at 4:01 p.m. ET Saturday. The move comes after Brown asked to be released by the team in an Instagram post earlier Saturday. The Pro Bowl wide receiver said this is his stance after the team “took away my [contract] guarantees.” He added: “no way I play after they took that and made my contract week to week.” (ESPN)
Nerdy Football Analysis: You seriously have to wonder about Brown’s mental health at this point. On the football side, you might think any team would be foolish to sign a player with this much drama but it will be hard from GMs to pass on his talent. More to come on this situation I’m sure. Stay tuned…
