The Saints won’t be signing Antonio Brown for now, and it appears there are some other interested teams who are taking a wait and see approach. Brown’s agent Drew Rosenhaus has said there are three teams interested in his client, with one of them obviously being New Orleans.
Both of the other teams that are interested in the embattled receiver have “made clear they would want to talk further with him after the conclusion of the NFL investigation,” per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com (Twitter link). Fowler adds that “anything before that is considered a non-starter.” Considering there’s nothing to suggest the league’s investigation is close to wrapping up, it doesn’t sound like Brown will be signed anytime soon. Were a team to ink Brown before the investigation is over, he would likely be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list, rendering him unable to play.
Brown is quite possibly facing a significant suspension from Roger Goodell, and the earliest we’re going to see him on the field is almost certainly 2020 despite the Saints’ surprise workout. All that being said, Fowler’s report does seem to confirm that there are indeed other teams out there with legit interest. How Brown answers the questions that franchises are obviously going to have will go a long way in determining whether one of them gives him another shot.
He will never set foot on an NFL field again. Even if someone is stupid enough to sign him, Goodell will immediately suspend him for the entire season. There are myriad things to suspend him for: threatening Mike Mayock with violence, several sexual harassment/assault allegations (precedent has shown that the NFL doesn’t necessarily care about legal outcomes and will suspend a player without a conviction of a crime), and any number of his Twitter rants. If he’s out 2019 *and* 2020, what team would be dumb enough to sign him in 2021?
He’s also already burned bridges in Oakland, Pittsburgh, and New England, so he’s limited his options as well.
Didn’t know 3 equals 32.
It doesn’t dude, 3 and 32 are different numbers
Way to solve that on your own.
I guess reading comprehension isn’t something you’re great at. ‘He’s limited his options’. He’s got three fewer teams that would even give him a shot. I didn’t say he had no options. Nice try with the hate, tho.
He’s a Florida Gator. 3rd grade reading level is appropriate. What did you expect?
Hell of a player maybe top three but he will not be playing for anyone this season.
yet no one wants Kaepernick because he might kneel
Who cares about CK, he sucks, he left the league years ago as a back up.
Who cares about CK, when he left the league years ago,he was a back-up.
Same old tired nonsense. CK lost his job to Gabbert and cares more about making his money race hustling like al Sharpton.
He had a chance, he blew it off being a drama queen, then he showed us what we already knew – he’s got an arm and that’s it, if he’s not scrambling or throwing to a wide open receiver he’s got nothing.
Even wide open receivers he throws way to hard the ball would bounce off the guy. It was rediculous.
It’s deeper than kneeling. Just look at the act he pulled recently. He feels he has the right to fly in the face of his would be employer (the NFL). So he remains on the street just like any guy who would show up for a damn job interview in a different damn place than the boss said to.
Antonio Brown is the NFL version of that terrible movie you keep watching even though you hate yourself for doing it.
The fact that anyone would consider him is why the NFL is a joke. He’s a complete tool and on so many levels has earned his loss of employment. Threatens bosses , treats women poorly , plays the race card and just in general is a p.o.s. I would be unemployed from my job if I did ONE of the many things he has done.
Except you are no where near the talent Brown is.
Why do people have to fulfill your morality clause to participate in society?
Those circular marks all over AB’s body are from where teams kept touching him with a TEN FOOT POLE !!
Even if he comes back I give him 1 or 2 seasons and that’s if he keeps quiet off the field.
I’m surprised my buddy BellTroll hasn’t commented on Brown’s pecs, repeatedly calling AB “Mr. Big Chest.” Methinks BellTroll runs bit light in the loafers.
