(93.7 The Fan) - The Raiders have fined Antonio Brown nearly $54,000 and he is not happy about it.
The Oakland wide receiver posted the latter he received from Raiders General Manager Mike Mayock that reads:
As you know you did not participate in the Raiders’ walk through on August 22. Your absence from practice was unexcused. Accordingly, you are hereby fined $13,950 pursuant to Article 42, Section 1 (a) (viii) of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Raiders’ Club Discipline Schedule
You were previously fined $40,000 for missing Raiders’ preseason training camp on August 18. Please be advised that should you continue to miss mandatory team activities, including practices and games, the Raiders reserve the right to impose additional remedies available under the Club’s Discipline Schedule, the CBA and your NFL Player Contract, including but not limited to, additional fines and discipline for engaging in Conduct Detrimental to the Club.
Brown responded with “When your own team want to hate but there’s no stopping me now devil is a lie. Everyone got to pay this year so we clear.”

September 4, 2019 And the problem for AB is that he can't "forget" to pay, since they can simply withhold it from his paycheck! https://t.co/mcZoWagVZS

September 4, 2019 The Steelers getting rid of Antonio Brown and landing a draft pick that helped them bring in Devin Bush will go down as one of the greatest moves in franchise history. Mark my words.
