You cant allow players to sabotage a trade after he has signed a contract with that new team. I have no problem if they hold out or refuse a trade but what AB did was dishonest. This isnt like a player considering to offers in free agency and leading a team to blieve they will sign the player but he signs with another team. This is AFTER he signed. He did not even try to honor his contract.
The Raiders acted in good faith but he had no intention of playing for them. I have no problem with him wanting to go to the Patriots but the NFL should not let players do what he did. It cost the Raiders draft picks and preparing for a season with him at wr.
I would feel the same way if it was against your team or the teams i dont like.

I will never hope a player gets injured but i do hope he joins the me me no championship club.....
I'm with you on this. Every owner should be up in arms over a player doing this. & if he did do this on purpose w/the Pats aware of it they should exercise the nuclear option on Kraft. This would be lower than low.
