He was not cut because of that rape claim, he was cut because of additional sexual harassment claims and texts of him threatening the woman. Was the final straw as Patriots wanted to cut before any more news or money was guaranteed.
Indeed. I've watched enough Bill Belichik on the local news to know that the team does not want ANY controversy that is not easily resolved.
Around these parts, he's referred to, "lovingly", as Mr. Happy. Because he's so down on everything. And don't forget about what Rob Kraft went through in Florida.
At this time, they are not willing to risk any more damage to the franchise image if it turns out Brown is found guilty.
If Kraft never got into that mess in Florida, I bet Brown would still be on the Pats roster. But nah, they are being very conservative here. I do not blame them, for the franchise's sake.
If Brown is found innocent, they need to offer him a super sweet deal. He was a monster in week 2, I liked him a lot on the field.
