Antonio Brown asked the Oakland Raiders to release him
Saturday, as the bizarre saga over the star wide receiver’s status on the team took another twist before the start of the NFL season.Brown said in an Instagram post early SaturdayAfter an alleged altercation with Raiders General Manager Mike Mayock, the team indicated it was preparing to suspend and potentially release the star wideout."We had a team meeting where Antonio addressed the team,” quarterback Derek Carr said. “We were up there with him, a couple of captains.
He had outstayed his welcome in Pittsburgh, but the Raiders have been counting heavily on Brown to spark an offense that was lackluster a year ago after Gruden returned to coaching from the announcing booth. He featured heavily in this year's edition of the"Hard Knocks" series, which was centered on the Raiders' training camp.
Drama over Brown's reluctance to wear an NFL-mandated helmet and his absence from the team after suffering a foot injury while undergoing cryotherapy preoccupied much of the series.
