On Wednesday Antonio Brown took to social media to announce his displeasure after receiving fines from the Raiders due to the missed practices throughout training camp.
Antonio Brown voiced his strong opinion, not taking the fine very lightly. Brown was awarded a helmet contract by Xenith, but while holding out during the helmet debacle, he’s being hit with fines from the team.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that Brown and GM Mike Mayock got into it on Wednesday while discussing the act of Brown posting his fine letter to social media. The team is now looking to suspend their pro-bowl wide receiver.

The Athletic’s Vic Tafur chimed in and mentioned that the argument led to teammates having to hold back Brown by teammates. Not an ideal look.
Brown has been the center of attention throughout training camp and just when the helmet situation was settled, another scenario get’s started.
First time GM Mike Mayock has worked all offseason to restructure the culture of the Raiders locker room, bringing in high character rookies to go along with established veterans. One thing that Mayock has done in the early stages of his tenure as the GM is holding every player accountable and treating all players the same.
Looks like the Raiders could be without Brown when they open the season in Oakland against the Denver Broncos on Monday night football.
