AB Fired: A point I better make NOW...

Dan, you've got it completely backwards.  Especially with the threatening messages on the record, I could easily have seen Brown suspended tomorrow.

If he had been, since the Patriots have two previous suspensions on the books for this league year (Lance Kendricks, one game for substance abuse policy and Benjamin Watson, four games for PED's), the Patriots would then have been fined 25% of the lost salaries of all three players, up to $250,000.

Mr. Cashman:  You actually have this backwards.  The Club Remittance Policy REQUIRED this move.  Had they kept Brown even one more day (and the only reason I'm not saying today is it's almost 7 PM Eastern, so any league business for the day is finished), the Patriots would've been fined $157,436 for having him on the roster at the time of the suspension.  (The difference between the check they've already had to cut and the $250,000 maximum that Brown's suspension would've easily breached!)

The Club Remittance Policy is meant to punish players for keeping players like Brown, or taking players like him.
