The Antonio Brown saga continues.
The Oakland Raiders issued a pair of fines to their star receiver for missing mandatory practice sessions and meetings during his NFL helmet dispute in August. Brown took to Instagram to share his displeasure towards the team.
Wednesday, things reached a boiling point as Brown reportedly got into an altercation with general manager Mike Mayock. The Raiders now plan to suspend Brown just days before their season opener against the Denver Broncos on Monday.
Following an underwhelming season of Hard Knocks, a very young Raider team is hoping to lay the foundations of a winning franchise before their move to Las Vegas next season. Without their star wide receiver, that task will be more difficult.
