Antonio Brown Tweet After Signing With New England Will Fire up Pats Fans and Scare Everyone Else
By Parker White
Should we really be surprised? After being released by the Oakland Raiders on Saturday morning, wide receiver Antonio Brown wasn't without a team for very long, as he signed a one-year deal with the New England Patriots on the same day.
The news wasn't enough. AB had to get on social and send out a tweet about being a new Patriot.

Brown tweeted a photo of himself photo shopped in a Patriots jersey and hat, with a very simple caption that reads, "LFG #GodsPlan."
It's all about winning for this organization, and they just got arguably the best receiver in football. Just what Tom Brady needs, right?
This morning I was telling anyone who would listen I hope Antonio Brown ended up broke and homeless and now I’m on my way to buy his jersey. Go Pats!

I don't think this was God's plan, but when you think about it, it may have been your plan all along. Make a fool out of yourself to get released by the Raiders and then get picked up by the Patriots, who was already a Super Bowl contender? It's too perfect.
From a financial standpoint it wouldn't make sense, but he's getting a $9 million signing bonus from New England. Not too shabby for a player who is a walking headache.
