Latest On Antonio Brown

There hasn’t been much movement on the NFL’s investigation of Antonio Brown. The league has yet to interview the former Patriots wide receiver, according to a source who spoke with PFT’s Mike Florio

There are teams interested in signing Brown, but none of them are willing to add him to the roster while the investigation is still in progress. Meanwhile, the NFL hasn’t said whether Brown would be immediately placed on paid leave if he’s signed. Any team that were to sign Brown right now would risk having to pay him, without playing him, which is obviously unpalatable. If the NFL were to give clarity on that front, things might be different for the wide receiver, despite the enormous controversy surrounding him.

At least, that’s what agent Drew Rosenhaus is hoping for.

It’s unfortunate things didn’t work out with the Patriots,” agent Drew Rosenhaus said in September. “But Antonio is healthy and is looking forward to his next opportunity in the NFL. He wants to play the game he loves and he hopes to play for another team soon.”

Brown, 31, has caught 841 passes for 11,253 yards over the course of his ten-year career. The bulk of those catches and yards came between 2011 and 2018: he saw limited time as a sixth-round rookie with the Steelers and appeared in only one game for the Pats this year.
