HBO's Hard Knocks misses out on Antonio Brown drama as the Oakland Raiders cut the star wide receiver
-
Since the Hard Knocks season finale on Tuesday night, Dancing with the Stars and The Masked Singer alum Brown allegedly threatened to punch Raiders general manager Mike Mayock while calling him a "cracker." The Raiders threatened to cut Brown, stripping of his nearly $30 million signing bonus, but Brown reportedly responded by delivering an emotional apology to the team on Friday. On Friday night, however, he posted a private phone conversation with head coach Jon Gruden to YouTube and this morning he asked for his release via Instagram. The Raiders granted his release this morning.
