He’s still making $10 million and has a chance to win a Championship as opposed to playing in the dumpster fire known as The Raider organization.
Do people forget that New England wanted to trade for AB when Pittsburgh was shopping him? Obviously the Steelers wouldn’t trade him to a powerhouse in their conference so what better way to get to NE than to force them team that traded for you to cut you.
Chess, not checkers. Watch suddenly AB becomes a model citizen
15M, 9 guaranteed in NE.
Sure, I haven't forgotten, if winning, not money was a priority back then, he'd have forced a trade to NE. But it wasn't, it was money, like 99% of the time with athletes, it's always money. He renegotiated to become the highest paid receiver at the time. He'd have never gotten that luxury with NE
Oh no doubt he will be a model citizen. We've seen this story before. Belichik doesn't put up with half the shit Chucky did. But i also have to wonder how he'll feel playing second fiddle to Edelman. He's not getting more touches, period.
