The Las Vegas Raiders acquired Antonio Brown from the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019 and while fans were salivating at the thought of Derek Carr connecting with the veteran receiver in the endzone, it didn’t happen that way. In fact, what ended up playing out can only be described as a very unfortunate series of events.

It started with a press conference, where Brown said everything that everyone wanted to hear. He claimed he was there to elevate everyone around him and that it wasn’t just about him. Despite these promises, Brown posted photos of severely frostbitten feet after not wearing proper attire during a cryotherapy session.

This forced the former Pittsburgh Steeler to miss several training camp sessions and lose valuable time developing chemistry with his teammates. He was also facing battles off the field due to his preferred helmet not being allowed by the NFL anymore. He filed a grievance to have this fixed, but the league denied him. This resulted in Brown missing even more practices.

Eventually, this racked him up 54,000 dollars in fines for unexcused absences in practice. A few days later, he allegedly got into an argument with Mike Mayock, and some claim he called the General Manager a cracker. He had to be held back by other teammates due to Brown threatening to hit Mayock and ended up kicking a football instead. He told the team to fine him for it before walking off.
