O.J. Simpson has been following the Antonio Brown drama with the Oakland Raiders this offseason and he has not been a big fan of it. That was the case once again on Thursday after reports broke that the Raiders were thinking about suspending Brown due to an altercation that nearly got physical between Brown and Raiders' general manager Mike Mayock.
Following the reports, Simpson took to Twitter to share a video message to the superstar wide receiver.

Brown has been unable to stay away from drama since last season. He ended up missing the Steelers' last game and proceeded to demand a trade from Pittsburgh. The franchise ended up moving him to the Raiders in exchange for a third and fifth-round pick.
Since then, things have spiraled out of control for Brown. He has missed practices due to an ongoing issue with the NFL regarding the helmet that he has worn for years being banned. Brown also missed time due to frostbitten feet.

Oakland acquired Brown to be the legitimate superstar receiver that quarterback Derek Carr has been needing. They traded Amari Cooper last season and expectations were high for Brown this year. Unfortunately, there is a real chance that his time with the Raiders will end before it even began.
Brown needs to take Simpson's advice and get things together. He needs to accept the fine for missing practices and move on. Continuing the drama is going to nothing but ruin his legacy.
It's time to get back on the field, but if not, the Raiders could look at moving on from the disgruntled star in the near future.
