AB to the Patriots!
- Thread starter cnc
- Start date
Key phrase..........'if executed'.
And things are about to get more interesting after the recent trade.
Most obvious CBA move coming up... The AB clause.
Teams will be able to indefinitely suspend players without pay and it not count against the cap for conduct detrimental to the team.

The lawsuit says that Brown — in three separate incidents, two in June 2017 and another in May 2018 — sexually assaulted a woman named Britney Taylor, a gymnast whom he met while they were attending Central Michigan together and whom he later hired as a trainer.
“Mr. Brown denies each and every allegation in the lawsuit,” said a statement from Darren Heitner, a lawyer representing Brown. “He will pursue all legal remedies to not only clear his name but to also protect other professional athletes against false accusations.”
According to the lawsuit, Brown sexually assaulted Taylor twice during training sessions in June 2017. First, he exposed himself and kissed her without her permission, the lawsuit says. Later that month, the lawsuit says, while she was watching a television program at his home, Brown started masturbating behind her and ejaculated on her back. Brown bragged about the incident in profane text messages that are copied in the lawsuit.
Taylor ended her working relationship with Brown, the lawsuit says, but several months later, when he contacted her to apologize, she relented. She was, according to the lawsuit, “swayed by his assurance that he would cease any sexual advances.”
Then, the lawsuit says, on May 20, 2018, Brown forced her onto a bed, pushed her face into the mattress and “forcibly” raped her. She tried to resist him, screaming and repeatedly shouting “no” and “stop,” the lawsuit says, but Brown refused and penetrated her.
“As a rape victim of Antonio Brown, deciding to speak out has been an incredibly difficult decision,” Taylor said in a statement released by her lawyer. “I have found strength in my faith, my family, and from the accounts of other survivors of sexual assault.”
In the statement, Taylor said she would cooperate with the N.F.L. in an investigation.
It was not clear whether Taylor reported her accusations to the police.
Brown, 31, one of the most productive wide receivers in the N.F.L., became a Patriot on Monday after a series of conflicts prompted the Oakland Raiders to release him last week. The teams could not immediately be reached for comment.
Brown is a resident of South Florida, where the lawsuit was filed.

ANTONIO BROWNACCUSED OF RAPING FORMER TRAINER... Denies Allegation
9/10/2019 6:00 PM PT
EXCLUSIVE DETAILS

5:53 PM PT -- Brown's attorney, Darren Heitner, has issued a statement adamantly denying the allegations -- and claiming she only filed the suit to punish him for refusing to invest $1.6 million in a "business project" back in 2017.
Brown admits there was a "consensual personal relationship" between the two -- acknowledging the accuser came to his home on multiple occasions ... including a late night visit just 10 days after the alleged 2018 rape.
Brown also claims in Winter 2018 she hit up Brown to ask for tickets to Steelers football game -- and has continued to post pics with AB on her social media to benefit from the association with him.
Brown says he will "pursue all legal remedies to not only clear his name, but to also protect other professional athletes against false accusations."
Antonio Brown is being sued by a woman who claims the New England Patriots star WR sexually assaulted and raped her during 3 separate encounters ... this according to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports.
The woman behind the lawsuit, who identifies herself as Britney Taylor, says she was hired by Brown as a personal trainer. Taylor claims the first incident happened in June 2017 during a training session when "Brown exposed himself and kissed [her] without her consent."
Taylor then describes a second alleged incident ... "Later that month, Brown, while positioned behind her, began masturbating near her without her knowledge and ejaculated on her back."
Taylor claims the first incident occurred at Brown's home in Pittsburgh and the second incident occurred at Brown's home in Florida.
According to the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Florida, Taylor claims Brown bragged about the incident to her in "profane and angry text messages."
Several months later, the accuser claims Brown reached out to her to express contrition and "begged forgiveness."
Taylor claims Brown begged her to continue training him -- and after initial hesitation, she ultimately agreed.
However, the woman claims nearly a year later -- on May 20, 2018 "Brown cornered [her] forced her down onto a bed, pushed her face into the mattress, and forcibly raped her."
The woman claims she tried to fight back but Brown was "too strong and physically overpowered her."
In the suit, the woman claims she screamed and cried throughout the entire incident -- repeatedly shouting "no" and "stop."
Brown refused to stop, according to the suit, and penetrated her, the woman claims.
In her suit, Taylor describes herself as a "28-year-old world class gymnast" who competed at "elite levels of international competition."
In her suit, Taylor claims she met Antonio Brown while they were both student athletes at Central Michigan University where they participated in a Fellowship of Christian Athletes group.
In her suit, Taylor says she wants compensation for "physical injuries, pain and suffering, humiliation, embarrassment, stress and anxiety, loss of self-esteem and self-confidence, and emotional pain and suffering."
In fact, Taylor claims she was so traumatized from the alleged incidents she "had near-daily panic attacks, frequent suicidal ideations, and insomnia. She has also lost a remarkable amount of weight -- 30 pounds in one month -- due to stress."
She also wants punitive damages -- though she does not specify an amount.
Taylor has issued a statement through her attorney saying, "As a rape victim of Antonio Brown, deciding to speak out has been an incredibly difficult decision."
"I have found strength in my faith, my family, and from the accounts of other survivors of sexual assault. Speaking out removes the shame that I have felt for the past year and places it on the person responsible for my rape."
"I will cooperate with the NFL and any other agencies; however, at this time, I respectfully request that the media please respect my privacy."
We've reached out to Brown's camp for comment -- so far, no word back.
The lawsuit comes in the wake of a wild couple of weeks for Brown -- who was released by the Oakland Raiders on Saturday morning after feuding with the team's general manager over fines.
Brown recorded a phone conversation with head coach Jon Gruden -- who didn't see, to know he was being recorded -- and posted it on social media.
Hours after Brown was released, the New England Patriots swooped in and signed Brown to a 1-year contract worth up to $15 million, with a $9 million signing bonus.
Pats head coach Bill Belichick said Tuesday morning he signed Brown in the hopes of having the same success he had when he signed Randy Moss back in the day.
So far, no comment from the Patriots on the lawsuit.

I wonder if anything will happen or is he now immune to these type of things because he’s a Patriot.
Also Patrick Chung was just charged with cocaine possession and he started for them Sunday night against the Steelers
I wonder if anything will happen or is he now immune to these type of things because he’s a Patriot.
In America, a drug possession charge and rape are nowhere near the same level.
Nobody likes a rapist, its worse than being called a thief.
He is not playing for a second, he ain't white like Big Ben was.
So you trying to tell dude pulled his dick out starting beating offf and bust on her back... good grief Charlie Brown you can’t make this stuff up
Lawsuit rape? 
The way they had this pop up, I thought it was a criminal complaint. I don't even like Antonio Brown but ain't nothing faker than RECENT lawsuit rape. Lawsuit rape usually involves the accuser not getting something they wanted or having a regret.
I swear the NFL union better do right by it's players on that conduct shit when they shut down play to renegotiate.
