The drama between the Oakland Raiders and Antonio Brown reached its apex on Saturday morning Bo Jackson Jersey , as Jon Gruden’s squad officially released the superstar wide receiver — and just hours later, AB had a new team.Article continues below ...When the news first broke on Saturday, everyone had the same joke: Wouldn’t it be funny if Brown joined Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, and the Patriots?Yeah, well, about that — at 5:00 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon, reports started to hit that Brown and New England had agreed to terms:And AB confirmed the report:Or, to put it another way…Indeed, Brown was more than a little bit relieved to find out that he would no longer be employed by Oakland (WARNING: NSFW language):But let’s back up just a little bit. All of this commotion went into motion early Saturday, when, after being fined and having the guaranteed money in his contract revoked, AB took to Instagram with a simple request for the Raiders — “release me.”And his wish, of course, was granted:via GIPHYThe surprising — if not shocking — move came in the wake of AB releasing a highly-produced video on YouTube Friday night that featured recorded audio from Gruden:… a video that Gruden reportedly found “awesome”.A few hours after the news broke, Gruden spoke to the media, saying that he believes Brown is simply “misunderstood”:As for AB? He originally commented on social media prior to the news of his deal with the Patriots:Our own Reggie Bush weighed in on the AB saga on Saturday, explaining that the Raiders needed Brown to be a leader — and that clearly didn’t happen.The entire offseason has been a rollercoaster for both Brown and the team https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-jersey , to say the least. He suffered a bizarre case of frostbitten feet due to chryotherapy gone wrong, and even his helmet choice was a point of contention during training camp.He was fined for missing practices, spoke out about the fines, and faced a potential suspension for a reported altercation with Raiders GM Mike Mayock.And now… here we are. Raiders General Manager Mike Mayock is ready for his first draft as a decision-maker, and not a commentator, and he knows what he’s looking for in a trade.Mayock said he agrees with Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who said that all teams use the same chart to determine what constitutes a fair trade of draft picks.“I’ve had trade charts forever,” Mayock said. “That was my job, and teams would share their trade charts with me. I think I saw Coach Belichick quoted the other day about them, they’re all within points of being the same thing. If you’re on the clock and you’ve got two minutes left and somebody’s calling about a trade, unless it’s for an existing NFL player, you’ve got to have a way to see what a benchmark is quickly. And I think all teams are using these trade charts that are very, very similar.”Mayock added, however, that “you’ve got to use your gut a little bit” because there may be times when he’ll like a player enough that he’ll trade more than the chart says he should to get that player. Those are the times when other teams will be glad to make the trade with Mayock, for the better draft picks according to the chart.
