VIDEO: Drew Rosenhaus' Explanation for Antonio Brown's Release From Raiders is Beyond Laughable
By Parker White
If you explore the entire Antonio Brown saga in the aftermath, the only person he can blame is himself for being selfish and not taking ownership of his mistakes. Was it the Oakland Raiders' fault that his feet were frostbitten? Was it their fault that the NFL chose to implement safer helmet regulations? The answer is no on both counts. So, why did AB's agent Drew Rosenhaus say this on ESPN's First Take this morning?
"It was a tough relationship really from the get-go."

What? Antonio Brown chose to ruin his relationship with the Raiders. With or without the helmet fiasco, he doomed himself. That had NOTHING to do with the Raiders.
The helmet excuse is tired. Every player had to adhere to this, and Brown essentially threw a tantrum over it. It's not that big of a deal.
I'm sure Brown wasn't thrilled that the team fined him, but that's because he wasn't showing up to practice. Again, that's on AB.
So you’re telling me that it isn’t a little bit shady that Drew Rosenhaus, who has a history of representing Patriot players (including Gronk), found a way to get AB to the Patriots through the most outrageous saga in Oakland & fit NE’s cap perfectly... yeah I don’t buy it.

There's no evidence of collusion or that Brown was doing this on purpose to become a Patriot, but it's hard not to wonder.
