The Antonio Brown saga continues just when everyone thought it was over. Brown was on the verge of suspension after getting into a heated exchange with Raiders' GM Mike Mayock. However, AB had thirty million reasons to apologize to make sure his massive signing bonus wasn't in jeopardy of being voided. But just after his heartfelt apology and head coach Jon Gruden announcing that he will play in their Week 1 matchup against Denver, AB decided to post a bizarre hype-video to his YouTube page which features his phone conversation with Gruden.
During the conversation, Gruden questions AB's commitment to the Raiders and asked if he still wanted to be in Oakland. AB responded by asking if the Raiders indeed want him. Gruden, sounding almost fed up with the entire situation, says “Please stop this sh** and just play football.”
But AB says he's more than just a football player and more importantly to combat the villain narrative that has been created about him. In the video's description, AB writes:
"With all these false narratives antagonizing me, it’s time for me to control my own narrative. Show the world I’m not the bad guy. Show the world you can free yourself from the lies and become your own person. I am not just AB the football player, I am Antonio Brown, the person, who paved a way for himself to be in charge of his own life. Free me!"
