OAKLAND, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders are planning to suspend Antonio Brown after a heated exchange Wednesday with the team's general manager, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter Thursday.
According to Schefter, the exchange with GM Mike Mayock was over Brown's Instagram post showing a letter informing him that he would be fined for time missed during training camp.
