Antonio Brown Reportedly Unhappy After Raiders Fine Him Following Altercation With GM Mike Mayock
By Karl Rasmussen
Just when you thought this Antonio Brown saga could finally be swept under the rug, it takes yet another turn.
The Raiders have reportedly fined Brown for his altercation with Mike Mayock from practice earlier this week, and the star wideout is apparently less than thrilled.
Source: The #Raiders fined WR Antonio Brown an unspecified amount for his unprofessional behavior in a recent interaction with GM Mike Mayock. “He’s been fined and he’s not happy,” the source said.

So, if these reports are to be believed, Brown got off essentially scot free, despite committing violations that would get an average player kicked off the team and likely blackballed from the league. Yet, the star receiver is upset that he received another fine, for actions that certainly warranted one?
Does AB not remember that prior to his apology, he was running the risk of forfeiting his $29 million in guaranteed money, had the Raiders opted to suspend and subsequently release him.
As someone with the Raiders said to me today “we are day to day around here with AB”

It seems there will never truly be any clarity surrounding AB's situation in Oakland. Just when things seem to be settling down, new reports emerge which claim the opposite.
If the Raiders keep servicing his every need, this problem is only going to grow. If he can't man up and handle the additional fines then the problems in Oakland are only just beginning.
