ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported on Saturday that Brown's ask came after the Raiders fined him $215,073.53 Friday night “for conduct detrimental to the team” and that the Raiders voided the $29.125 million worth of guaranteed money in Brown’s deal.
Following the social media post, the Raiders announced they released Brown, who then signed with the New England Patriots hours later.
