Antonio Brown no longer wants to play for the Oakland Raiders.

Brown posted on Instagram on Saturday morning that he wanted the team to release him.

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. “I’m not mad at anyone. I’m just asking for the freedom to prove them all wrong.” Release me @raiders #NOMore #theyputblindersonahorseforareason #NoMoreFake

This is a blessing for the Raiders! I just said earlier today that it was time for the Raiders to cut and run from Antonio Brown.

Cut and run like the house is on fire because it most certainly seems to be that way. The former Steelers star is nothing but a gigantic distraction and problem.

Now, he wants out and the team should rush to oblige him.

I don’t know what Brown’s problem is or why he seems so intent on sabotaging his career, but it’s time to show him the exit door.

This has gone on long enough. Tell him to get lost, tell him to clean out his locker and then go forward as a team.

Brown’s days in the NFL could be coming to a rapid end, and he has nobody to blame but himself. What a disaster of a situation.
