If he didnt want to play he shouldnt have signed the contract.
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 two offers in free agency and leading a team to believe 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 doubt if the patriots had anything to with it but im sure his agent did.
Doesnt matter cause if he pulls his act in New England he wont last the season. I dont care for the patriots but we know Belicheck wont put up with it.
AB needs the patriots for a ring. The patriots can use him but they dont need him.
I will never hope a player gets injured but i do hope he joins the me me no championship club along with Owens, Moss and Johnson.
