UPDATE: The Raiders released Antonio Brown on Saturday morning the team has announced.

The situation between Antonio Brown and the Raiders has reached a tipping point. The receiver asked to be released from the team via an Instagram post on Saturday morning, after Adam Schefter’s report that Oakland has voided the near $30 million worth of guarantees in his contract.

“You are gonna piss a lot of people off when you start doing what’s right or you,” Brown’s post said, along with the caption: “And that’s fine ! I have worked my whole life to prove that the system is blind to see talent like mines.Now that everyone sees it, they want me to conform to that same system that has failed me all those years. ‘I’m not mad at anyone. I’m just asking for the freedom to prove them all wrong.’ Release me @raiders #NOMore #theyputblindersonahorseforareason #NoMoreFake”

This all comes on the heels of a truly bonkers video that Brown posted to YouTube on Friday night, which featured what sounded like a recording of a private phone call between the receiver and head coach Jon Gruden.

“Please stop this shit and just play football,” Gruden is heard saying on the video.
