Brown's agent: 'Our goal is to salvage this relationship' with Raiders

As Antonio Brown's ongoing beef with the Oakland Raiders hit full stride Thursday, the wide receiver's agent attempted to diffuse the situation following reports the Raiders could potentially suspend Brown after an altercation with general manager Mayock.

"Not a lot is clear yet, other than the Raiders said AB should stay home today," Drew Rosenhaus told Stacey Dales on NFL Network, according to Ian Rapoport. "We haven't heard anything about a potential decision yet ... We're trying to work through this. The goal is to work everything out."

He added: "Our goal is to salvage this relationship ... There is two sides to every story. My job is to bring everything back, try and get things worked out. That's what I'm working on right now."

Whether or not they suspend Brown, the Raiders reportedly plan to hold their No. 1 receiver out of their Week 1 matchup with the Denver Broncos.

Rosenhaus told ProFootballTalk he's "not optimistic" his client will suit up Monday night but had earlier said Oakland has yet to reach a final verdict regarding the seven-time Pro Bowler's official status.

"If it were up to me, if it were up to Antonio, he would play," he said. "But there's a lot of people involved who have to make that decision."

Brown voiced his displeasure with fines from the team Tuesday, posting a letter he received from the Raiders on social media. The post reportedly led to the exchange with Mayock, but Rosenhaus insisted the situation is far from unfixable.

"I'm confident we can get back to doing all the right things that the Raiders signed him for," he said, according to Rapoport. "My hope is there isn't a suspension and I'm not aware of any as of yet. I'm working with them to try to and avoid this scenario."
