Antonio Brown the Patriot: Spin Zone

It’s time to do what sports fans do best: have a strong opinion about something, but then when it directly affects your team pull a complete 180 and spin it into a huge positive.

I’m not sure if you heard the news, but Antonio Brown is now a New England Patriot. In the words of Brown’s former coach, Jon Gruden, that’s wild, man.

Brown is here on a one year deal that can be worth up to $15 million, per reports, which includes a $9 million signing bonus. Exact details of the contract are unknown at the moment, but I would imagine and hope that it’s heavily incentive-laden and New England will have no problem cutting ties with Brown at the slightest hint of the same nonsense he pulled in Pittsburgh and Oakland.
