CelebNSports247.com has just got word that Antonio Brown will now be relocating to Boston since he just signed a new one-year deal with the Patriots for $15 million.
After the Raiders tried to force AB to conform he took to social media stating:
I have worked my whole life to prove that the system is blind to see talent like mines. Now that everyone sees it, they want me to conform to that same system that has failed me all those years. “I’m not mad at anyone. I’m just asking for the freedom to prove them all wrong.” Release me!
And so the Raiders did what he asked, and now, AB is going to make them eat their words!
He was his reaction:
See people had a lot to say about Brown and they even were speculating that AB was going to have a hard time trying to find a new home in the NFL.
Well, those people tend to forget he is one of the best wide receivers in the game, so take that haters.
ESPN reports:
Antonio Brown has agreed to a deal with the New England Patriots, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday.
New England is giving Brown a one-year deal worth up to $15 million, Rosenhaus said. It includes a $9 million signing bonus, $10 million guaranteed and $5 million in incentives.
The agreement comes hours after Oakland released Brown to end a tumultuous stint with the Raiders, who acquired the Pro Bowl wide receiver via trade during the offseason.
