Raiders release WR Antonio Brown after wild preseason

ALAMEDA – The Raiders have released wide receiver Antonio Brown, the team announced Saturday on Twitter.

The decision comes after Brown requested his release Saturday morning on Instagram when he reportedly learned of new fines incurred for behavior this week. An ESPN report said he was informed that his three-year, $50 million contract was voided and his salary would be paid week-to-week.

And that’s fine ! 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.
