Antonio Brown filed a grievance against the Las Vegas Raiders last October, but he's going to have a chance to get a decision on it in the coming months. While he remains a free agent, Brown's grievance against the Raiders is finally scheduled.
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, an arbitrator will hold a hearing for the grievance in May. Despite not playing a single game for the Raiders, Brown is attempting to get some of the money back that he believes is owed to him.
Last offseason, the Raiders acquired Brown in a blockbuster trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Immediately after the trade, Brown negotiated a new contract. His new contract was worth $50.1 million over three years and included $30.1 million in guarantees.
However, before he even stepped foot on the practice field, the All-Pro wideout was causing issues with the team. First, it began with Brown sustaining a foot injury that stemmed from a cryotherapy mishap. Then, the troubled wideout was trying to wear the helmet he wore his entire career despite it no longer being approved by the NFL.
Due to the drama he created, the Raiders never paid Brown a single penny on his contract. In the end, the Raiders chose to release the veteran receiver after the countless distractions he caused.
Along with the grievance with the Raiders, Brown also has one against the New England Patriots. Brown signed with the Patriots for a game and was released after there were sexual assault allegations made against him by his former trainer.
As of now, there is no scheduled date for his grievance involving the Patriots. Seeing that Brown asked for his release from the Raiders, it's unlikely he gets any money from the organization.
