The Oakland Raiders have put up with a lot for Antonio Brown, and here is the timeline of the entire saga heading to his release Saturday.
Just when you think things might be calming down for the Oakland Raiders, there is yet another turn in the Antonio Brown saga. The Oakland Raiders fined Brown $215,000 this morning, and have voided the guaranteed money on this contract.

From the moment Brown joined the Raiders, it has been nothing but a wild roller coaster from his frostbite feet to his helmet grievances. The Raiders seemed to be in support of Brown throughout most of it, but things took a turn this past Wednesday.
