Here's an interesting angle. AB went after Mayock.
That GM has a huge ego as well. He's been putting AB to task all season and is fed up with his ****. I can see him ******* AB for this, because the Raiders aren't into treating their players like family (from an ownership perspective), like the Steelers are. Here's what I would love to see.
Week 1: Suspend him, voiding his guarantees.
Week 2: Submit the 5 day sheet to Rosenhaus. If AB doesn't show in 5 days to play week to week football, he forfeits the ablity to play in 2019. No playing anywhere else, no recourse, nothing.
Mayock could do this, it doesn't cost them a thing and it hurts AB the most - taking money and playing time from him. Plus it makes sure no one can use him this season. Next season, he is still under contract and they can lather, rinse, repeat this whole process, unless AB grows the **** up. And the topper, Mayock is the GM and can refuse any trade offer, just to **** AB.
AB is a liar, a bad team mate, and a terrible person. He deserves every ounce of what he gets from Mayock. He picked the wrong fight with the wrong dog.
