This is a very important message from Randy Moss.
While some NFL players are starting to come around to the fact they indeed have power in their one-sided relationship with owners, you have to be very careful if you try to do what Antonio Brown did, because owners are very evil and vindictive people.
Randy Moss said on ESPN that he believes great players should note what Brown did, how he came out ahead financially, and consider whether they’re in a position that they could do the same thing.
“I would tell you this: If you are an elite player in the National Football League, then I think yes, this is the approach, this is a page you can take out of Antonio Brown’s book,” Moss said. “Stay aggressive, be aggressive.”
Moss cautioned, however, that the majority of players can’t do what Brown did, and he said if players overestimate their importance to a team, they may find themselves out of the league entirely if they try to play hardball with an NFL owner.
“If you’re a guy just trying to get a little contract, just to remain on the team, don’t you take Antonio Brown’s approach because you might find yourself at home,” Moss said. “So this approach is not for everyone, but it’s an aggressive approach only for the elite.”
The NFL will blackball you quickly, so make sure your moves are like chess moves to keep your business booming.
