Antonio Brown is in the news again this week. After going back and forth with Eric Weddle and Baker Mayfield earlier in the week, it seems as if AB’s latest fight will be with the NFL and the Oakland Raiders specifically.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Antonio Brown will be the first NFL player to file nine (!) grievances and appeals during the same season, adding up to $61 million.

Brown’s appeals and grievances include appealing his $215,000 fine, his $29 million in guaranteed money, his $1 million signing bonus, and his unpaid Week One salary of $860,000 all with the Raiders.
The embattled receiver is also filing grievances against the New England Patriots for his $1 million in guaranteed money, his $9 million signing bonus, his unpaid Week 3 salary of $64,000, and his $20 million team option.
Schefter goes on to state that Brown plans to appeal any suspension or discipline that the NFL gives him.
This just adds to even more drama for Brown, who has been a free agent since last week after the Patriots released him. Moreover, he has been accused of sexual assault, rape, and sexual misconduct by two different women.
AB continues to make NFL Sunday all about him and takes away from the great (and still employed) players trying to win football games.
