Dude wanted guaranteed money. The Raiders were the only team that would give it to him. Then he didn’t want to work out in the preseason, and instead of just faking an injury, he made up a bunch of reasons why he couldn’t be there because he was worried about the hard knocks cameras exposing him. Then, when the Raiders took the steps to make his money no longer guaranteed, he took the steps to get released. Smart guy, bad at people, and doesn’t think things through all the way. He's literally the Kanye of the NFL!

I get the fact they'll never be able to prove the pats conspired with a player signed to another team (obviously), but why is he not suspended for calling his gm a cracker?? A white player would be if he called his gm the n bomb
