California's a two-party consent state and he definitely didn't have Grudens' consent. The Raiders are probably happy to just be done with the asshole. Pittsburgh and Oakland got played and badly.
This whole deal was orchestrated and not by AB - the dude's not intelligent enough to have figured this convoluted scheme that got him to where he's wanted to go since the Steelers started shopping him last Spring - New England.
This has Rosenhaus's and his agency's fingerprints all over it. Does anyone think that AB's smart enough to make all of the memes and videos he posts on IG & FB? No way in hell- he has handlers that are doing all of that shit.
Think he was smart enough to have thought of recording his conversation with Gruden? Nope - this retard is lucky to even know how to turn his own phone on, let alone record, save and then post the conversation.
