Antonio Brown to be suspended by the Raiders after argument with GM (drafted, pay)

[The Dissenter]

ESPN is reporting the Raiders plan to suspend Antonio Brown after a heated argument with GM Mike Mayock yesterday. PFT reports that a suspension voids $29 million in guaranteed money so the Raiders could possibly cut him with minimal cap repercussions.

Brown has been nothing hut trouble since training camp opened and Mayock likely has reached his breaking point with Brown’s shenanigans. The best thing the Raiders can do IMO is get out of the guaranteed money and then cut bait ASAP.

A million dollar talent with a ten cent brain.

Brown is on thin ice, IMO.

He's become too much of a distraction.

The odds against Denver have also changed.

We shall see if he changes his ways.

We will probably here about Brown checking into some rehab clinic in the next few week.

I drafted this loser over Tyreek Hill because "I trust him more". Less than a week later he may have sabotaged my fantasy year.

OBJ and Antonio Brown, 2 guys definitely NOT worth the headache.

How much did Antonio Brown get guaranteed out of his $30 Million contract?

Edit in:

Here is Brown's deal was structured - because of his past behavior.

Antonio Brown has already lost out on $500,000 in contract money, reportedly hasn't been paid a dime by Raiders This has not been a cheap off season for Antonio Brown

If Antonio Brown ends up getting released by the Raiders, there's a chance his career in Oakland will end without him ever receiving a single paycheck from the team.

That's right, even though Brown signed a three-year, $50.125 million deal in March that included $30.125 million in guaranteed money, he still hasn't received a single cent due to the way that his deal was structured, according to Pro Football Talk.

When he signed his deal, Brown's guaranteed total included a $1 million signing bonus plus full guarantees for the 2019 ($14.625 million) and 2020 ($14.5 million) seasons for a total of $30.125 million. Although most players get their signing bonus shortly after they put their signature on their contract, that wasn't the case with Brown.

According to PFT, Brown's signing bonus was actually structured as two separate workout bonuses of $500,000 each. To earn the 2019 money, Brown had to show up for 85 percent of the team's offseason training activities this year, which he did not do. Since he didn't meet the criteria, the Raiders didn't have to pay him the bonus, which means Brown was out $500,000 before he even got to training camp.

To get the other $500,000 bonus, Brown would have to show up for 85 percent of the team's offseason training activities in 2020, although he might not get that chance to earn that, because the Raiders might end up getting rid of him before next season.

I'd be really surprised if the Raiders don't let him go within the next 1-2 weeks.
