NFL world reacts to Raiders suspending Antonio Brown

Antonio Brown’s career with the Oakland Raiders could not have gotten off to a more drama-filled start.

Acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers back in March, Brown has made news a ton in recent weeks.

That includes him remaining away from Raiders training camp due to an issue the troubled pass-catcher has with the NFL’s new helmet policy.

It led to Oakland fining Brown for missing camp activities, something the receiver did not take a liking to.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter then reported on Thursday that the Raiders have suspended Brown after he got into an altercation with general manager Mike Mayock stemming from the above-mentioned fine.

Needless to say, the NFL world had its reactions to this latest news. Here are some of the best.

Antonio Brown was unhappy about being fined and had an exchange with #Raiders general manager Mike Mayock on Wednesday. He was held back by a couple of teammates, sources said, and is now facing a team suspension.

Old enough to remember when some of you tried to call my report that there was disagreement between the front office and coaching staff about Antonio Brown and their need for him, false.

So the Raiders threw some money at Antonio Brown, got fed up in four months and now want to bail on the rest of it? I love when prohibitive favorites come in.

Good timing to announce that our next @PristineAuction signed helmet giveaway (starting tomorrow) is Antonio Brown. 😂

It’s perfectly possible that the #Raiders may soon look to void the guarantees for Antonio Brown’s 2019 & 2020 salaries ($14.6M in 2019, $14.5M in 2020) based on various incidents of conduct detrimental to the team.

It just seems like @AB84 doesn’t want to play football anymore. All evidence points to that. I can completely relate to his behavior. I behaved the same way…playing the victim and I never had near his talent. Personal accountability is such an attribute. I hope he finds it soon

I don’t know the exact amount Antonio Brown has been paid at this point in time by the Raiders but I’m guessing it’s not very much. I won’t be surprised if they look to get out of this deal.
