Antonio Brown to Patriots

[Cowfan75]

Patriots always make the best moves. What we needed to do is not let them make those moves. That means... yeah, I would've definitely looked at Brown. (I realize we don't have money just lying around though) We can't win a Super Bowl if they're always in the way.

They aren't in our way...yet.

1 year 15 million lol

I think we had somewhere around 8-9 million left, so yeah... that's a lot.

Would be funny if the Raiders beat the Pats in the title game to advance.

 

[jday]

Good! He can screw them up too!!! This is the end of the Patriots dynasty.

See the end of Moss' career. They will likely look genius again.

 

[lwehlers]

Worked for Randy Moss. Didn't work for Chad Johnson or Albert Haynesworth.

Will have to see. I am betting on it does not work. How you blend him along with Gordon should be fascinating. Deadly in Madden, unpredictable in real life.

the patriots will go 19-0 in madden,

Just happy it wasn't the Eagles

 

[CATCH17]

The Steelers and Raiders couldn't get rid of him fast enough. The Patriots are built to contain a locker room poison like Antonio Brown. The 31 other teams are not. I am glad he's not coming here.

Same but the entire leagues odds of winning the Super Bowl just went down a little.

1 Year/15 million. Thought people said he was tarnished, wont be signed and will get paid peanuts.

Sounds like 15 million he's guaranteed to make.

Maybe he is just an entrepreneur, after all.

 

[buybuydandavis]

This was his plan all along. He didn’t want to play for the Raiders.

You won’t hear a peep from him anymore now that he’s on a good team. He’s going to ball out. He threw those tantrums to get out of crappy Oakland.

Randy Moss 2.

 

[Rayman70]

I know why he went to New England. He wants to stick it to Big Ben and the steelers. That's gonna be fun to watch unfold.

Well, Brown's feet aren't frostbitten anymore.....

 

[Hennessy_King]

Guaranteed 9 but I don't think they will cut him and lose 9 million

There’s Super Bowl number 7 for Bill and Tom’s Tiresome Adventure.

In a capped league, the rich get richer. NE offers the best shot at a ring, by far.

 

[DejectedFan1996]

That’s the best news of the day. He’s going to be a major PITA there like he has been everywhere he’s been. LOL!

Not even you’re that dumb to believe that.

 

[mattjames2010]

He's not the proverbial "right kind of guy" for the Patriots, or the kind of player the Pats typically go after.

But, given all things in New England, it makes perfect sense.

Patriots have never stuck to "right kind of guy" - they took Randy Moss when he literally quit on the Raiders. Like...just stopped playing. Stayed on the bench, stopped running his routes. Do you not remember going into the 2007 season and everyone thinking Moss was going to tear up the locker room?

They also have taken Josh Gordon, Haynesworth, Chad Johnson, etc.

Patriots mentality has always been, we'll give you a chance here and know your place. As in, you're simply a luxury for Bill and Tom.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

This could be one of Brown's last chances in the NFL. If other teams see that he'll even lash out and act out with the Patriots, then they might be real hesitate to sign him if he ends up like he did in Pittsburgh and Oakland.

He can’t even play in the game unfortunately. Would have loved to see that

Corey Dillion. The list goes on and on like their Super Bowl appearances

So the lesson here is if you are a good player but you don't like the team you're on, be a malcontent until you are released and then you can go to another team.

1 year 15 million lol

I’m hearing that the $9mil bonus is all that’s guaranteed, with the rest contingent on incentives.
