In a string of tweets, Brown voiced his displeasure with his recent release from the Patriots amid sexual assault allegations.Brown was released by the Oakland Raiders and Patriots within two weeks; he wrote on Twitter that he “will not be playing in the @NFL anymore.” He then went on to criticize NFL owners, saying “These owners can cancel deals do whatever they want at anytime. we will see if the @NFLPA hold them accountable sad they can just void guarantees anytime going on 40m 2 months will see if they pay up !”
The Raiders voided Brown’s guarantees of $29.125 million by fining him for conduct detrimental to the team after he missed practices and got into a heated exchange with general manager Mike Mayock. Additionally, the Patriots are also withholding the $9 million signing bonus Brown was set to be paid. The Patriots released Brown on Sept. 20 after personal trainer Britney Taylor alleged in a federal lawsuit that Brown had sexually assaulted her on three occasions in 2017 and 2018. A league investigation into the claims is still ongoing.
