The Oakland Raiders should be doing one this offseason and that’s making sure to get the timing down for quarterback Derek Carr and new WR Antonio Brown.
That, of course, would mean that Brown would need to show up to organized team activities to make that happen.
Aside from that, it is extremely important that the wide receiver who had a rocky relationship with his last coach has a better one with his new one.
Jon Gruden doesn’t seem to think so.
The Raiders head coach had some rather disturbing comments when asked about having a relationship with Brown:
“I’m not going to get into the relationship business,” said Gruden when asked about Brown’s chemistry with the team. “I think Brown is a great guy. I love having him here. Derek is a great guy. You can’t rush a relationship. You just don’t have a great relationship in three weeks or two months. It’s something that you’ve got to earn and you’ve got to really work and, and that’s why it’s important that we spend time together. I’m a little worn out with all the relationships and all the things that really don’t matter right now.”
