It continues. No, really, Antonio Brown is out of Raiders training camp again… again, because he doesn’t have the helmet he likes. Raiders general manager Mike Mayock is understandably fed up with the melodrama led by the 31-year-old wide receiver who reworked his deal into a three-year, $50.125 million deal (with $30.125 million guaranteed) as part of being traded to the Raiders.
“You all know that A.B. is not here today,” Mayock said. “So here’s the bottom line. He’s upset about the helmet issue. We have supported that. We appreciate that. But at this point, we’ve pretty much exhausted all avenues of relief. So from our perspective, it’s time for him to be all in or all out. So we’re hoping he’s back soon. We’ve got 89 guys busting their tails. We are really excited about where this franchise is going. And we hope A.B’s going to be a big part of it starting Week 1 against Denver. End of story, no questions. OK? Just wanted you guys to know where we were.”
