The season hasn’t even started yet and Steelers fans are already feeling like they’re 1-0.
After an offseason full of drama and sagas out of Antonio Brown, the Raiders have had enough.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Oakland is suspending their star WR indefinitely.

The reasoning behind the suspension comes a day after Brown posted a letter from Raiders General Manager Mike Mayock, stating that Brown had been fined for skipping a mandatory practice.

According to Schefter, Mayock spoke to Brown about it which led to an “exchange” that landed Brown with the suspension.
Antonio Brown posted the fine letter on social media that Raiders’ GM Mike Mayock sent him. It led to an exchange, which is now leading to further discipline. This is not going away anytime soon.
