Because the Patriots who Win Championships DON'T put up with this garbage. They traded Randy Moss the second he complained about the team and Brady. Now they trade Antonio Brown after 1 game with team. I kind if thought this player that threatened to beat up the Oakland Raiders GM was NOT going to cut it with Patriots. Patriots got Ocho Cinco on the condition no more Hot Dog Nonsense. He agreed and changed his name back to Chad Johnson and stopped playing the Fool at New England. Patriots are NOT into this nonsense, they are into Championships. Patriots will NOT tolerate nonsense from any player because it gets in the way of Winning Focus.
Now you can Like It or Lump It, but's that just they way it is on Patriots. Their focus is on Winning, not having a 3 ring circus of Problem Players.
It seems Raiders were right to trade him also, and whatever they got in trade was a plus, even if it was a bag of peanuts.
I will add Patriots made out like bandits getting Corey Dillon from Bengals and why Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis wanted to get rid of him remains a mystery. As Dillon looked like Jim Brown in that Super Bowl Win for Patriots, the whole world laughed at Bengals The Dillon Patriots maybe the best of their dynasty Super Bowl teams. To have Brady and a Jim Brown like Dillon.
So Patriots bring in a Dillon or Burkhead or players to help WIN. Anybody who takes the focus off of winning like Antonio Brown or Randy Moss are Terminated in seconds.
