Alliance... » Once a Raider, always a Raider.

There may finally be an exception to the saying Lester Hayes Jersey , “”Receiver Antonio Brown, who was never a Raider for an actual Raiders game, is a Raider no more. He posted a parting shot at the team on Twitter.“The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth,” Brown said.While hardly the ideal sentiment at a time when Brown is shopping for a new village, Brown’s message invites speculation as to whether he truly felt accepted by the organization for who he is as a person. Although coach Jon Gruden said all the right things, Gruden and G.M. Mike Mayock seemed to be trying to manage Brown with a good cop/bad cop approach that ultimately blew up in their faces.If they thought they could manage him, they weren’t paying attention to the things he was saying while he was trying to tweet his way out of Pittsburgh. Before anyone else tries to manage him, they need to realize that, while he will indeed show up and work hard and play hard Ronnie Lott Jersey , he can’t and he won’t be managed. He’s doing things his way, and if you want the benefit of his talent that’s the bargain you have to make.And that will make a deal with New England even less likely. He’s clearly not chagrined or contrite or ready to change his ways to meet the requirements of a team. He wants a team that will changes its ways to accommodate him. Which means that only a small handful of teams will even consider it, if that many.If these are indeed the ground rules, one team to watch would be Washington, where the village already seems to be burning anyway.

Almost a month ago, Incognito visited the Raiders and worked out for the team.He left the facilities without a deal but impressed decision makers enough to give him a shot on a one year deal.Incognito will compete with Denzelle Good among others for a left guard spot that appears to be wide open.It’s possible Incognito could face a league suspension stemming from an incident in August 2018 where he plead guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and served 11 months probation.Also called into question is the mental health of Incognito Otis Sistrunk Jersey , who during the aforementioned incident made threats to employees at a funeral home following the death of his father.Supposedly, references to having guns in his vehicle were made.Incognito, 35, last played for the Buffalo Bills in 2017 and was still a very productive player, making three Pro Bowls.He has the reputation as a mauler with an attitude. While he could certainly help the team, the move does not fit with the transition Gruden and Mayock are making in shaping the roster with high character players.In 2014, Incognito missed the entire season due to the bullying scandal that took place with then teammate, Johnathan Martin in Miami.
