AB just asked Raiders to release him (and the Raiders Release him)

At this point Kaepernik and his people are probably distancinv the **** out of themselves from Brown.

For those that remember it more clearly, how does this all compare to the T.O. story? I remember that stuff happening, but didn't pay as much attention to it because there was no vested (Steelers) interest in it when it was happening. Just curious as to how interested the next team will be.

I would say this. At least when T.O. got his trade demand he STFU for a little while and just played. you can't change what you are, but you can tone it down a bit. Which is what I expected from AB. I thought it might bite the raiders in the ***, but this early is kind of beyond any expectation.

Can anyone explain to me why the Raiders could terminate his guaranteed money and the Steelers could not? I would have gladly kept the 20m in cap space over a 3rd and a 5th. That money could have been used to keep Hargraves which will cost you a first or a second next year. Or they could have easily FA'd a solid backup TE this year. Maybe even one with starting potential down the road.

That was part of the problem. His guarantee money was all gone. We already paid that.
 
I also think if they are able to put him on the reserve /left team list..he is with the Raiders for the year..that's y he wants released
 
I guess he posted the phone call between him and Gruden, which was kinda amusing. Made Brown look like an idiot. I want to know how he was a victim when he was throwing furniture off the balcony.

But what is gone? Like I assumed when AB signed his contract, either with the Steelers or the Raiders that the guaranteed money was physically transferred to his bank account. That is why it is considered guaranteed. To me it is about the cap room. In my opinion, whether it is like Luck, where you are talking about can he play or can he not. Or worse with this *** clown, you should be able to petition to get your cap room back. He is clearly forcing himself off of the Raiders as he did with the Steelers. I feel like both situations are the same.
 
We were seeing mayock as a doormat and maybe this was all orchestrated by him expecting an AB reaction of this level to get away from a very bad deal given ABs shown crazyness.

The money comes in the form of his game week paycheck. He hasn't gotten one yet from the Raiders. He had gotten many from the Steelers, therefore the services rendered made the guaranteed money count.
 
So who is more relieved steelers or buffalo?
 
OH ITS DONE. David Carr is on NFLN right now basically roasting AB and saying **** that him and his brother talked about on the matter. No ****** way AB will play a down as a Raider now. Not a chance.

That is solid gold right there. Maybe AB can make it up in time for the Banjo Bowl this afternoon. Which came about from the Winnipeg kicker calling Saskatchewan people Hillbillies. I'm a proud good old boy, but them ************* got no teeth. Oh and the answer to the boys question today is Chris Strevler

I believe in general, a portion of guaranteed money is paid out each year throughout the life of a contract and is only paid in one large sum if the player is released.

I believe in Brown's case with the Steelers, most of the guaranteed money was in the form of a signing bonus.

I'm not totally sure what you mean, but I do know who David Carr is and his brother Derek. I'm saying David is on NFLN right now spilling the beans about what his brother has said about AB.

Yes, that is true. They turned a big chunk of his money into a signing bonus to free up some cap room as they typically do with players they consider roster locks. Annnd lesson learned.
