He's asked to be release now.

He's off his rocker.

Don't know what happened with that tweet but here's a screenshot of AB's intragram

Good lord

Raiders slowly extricating themselves from the situation it seems.

I wonder where he will end up? It would be a brave GM that would bring his circus to town at this stage but the talent is still there so someone will take a chance on him

Suddenly Monday night seems a long long time away.

Been waiting hours for the west coast to wake up to see what the next arc would be. Not disappointed. :pac:

Itssoeasy

Someone for jaysus sake lock his social media accounts. The helmet issue seems so bloody long ago and almost funny.

Itssoeasy

Also he's ruining me watching the F1 qualifying because AB believes "the system has failed him" which is complete rubbish.

Jaysus if he was acting like this during is time at the Steelers Mike Tomlin deserves a serious pay rise!

Adamcp898

Surely if they had just bit the bullet and released him on Friday they wouldn’t have been on the hook for the guaranteed money either?

Don’t see the point in playing cat and mouse by fining him a particular amount knowing it’ll make his contract essentially week-to-week. By leaving the door open to him they’re just prolonging the distraction.

Itssoeasy

David Carr was on nfl network just there and honestly if it wasn’t today it was going to blow up on the raiders.

The fact the Steelers try keep stuff very much in house what has he gotten away with that we haven’t heard about. If he ends up being released banker John Dorsey tries picking him for the Browns!!

adrian522

It's hard to keep things in-house when he's posting phone calls with the head coach on Instagram.

At this stage if the Raiders want to keep him you think they will have to re-do his contract. No way he can play with no guarantees. Whole situation is a mess.

Ah I know, can’t see him playing a single down for the Raiders to be honest, be amazed if he does. He’s become seriously volatile in past few years & reckon the lads are onto something regarding that hit he suffered from Burfict.

jack presley

He's released now.

adrian522

Yep...

Crazy stuff.

Released and I presume no cap.hurt for the Raiders?

I can't see any team grabbing him off the waiver wire. I'm not sure anybody would want him now. When you share team communications on social media you have crossed a line that there's no comeback from I think.

according to the reporter on NFL Network, no cap hit. He also expected a fight with AB's agent and the union.

The whole thing is just completely insane

The only people I feel bad for in this are the fans who spent $250 on an AB jersey.
