The Tampa Bay Vipers have signed former Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway, per a club announcement. The one-time University of Florida standout is looking to work his way back towards the NFL following his release from the Browns and a ten-game suspension from the league office.
Callaway was drafted by the Browns in the fourth round of the 2018 draft. He clicked with Baker Mayfield as a rookie and finished out with 43 catches for 586 yards and five touchdowns. In 2019, however, it was a different story. The NFL suspended Callaway for the first four games of the year after violating the substance abuse policy and he’s now looking at an additional ten-game ban.
Callaway was suspended during the 2019 season for four games for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy and, when he returned, he clashed with Browns coaches. The receiver was already teetering on the edge in November when he was hit with an additional ten-game ban for another substance abuse violation, so the Browns cut him. Despite his talent and inexpensive rookie contract, none of the team’s other 31 teams picked him up when he was available.
If Callaway can demonstrate personal growth and perform in the XFL, he might have a chance of someday returning to the NFL.
I thought they were only hiring “upstanding citizens?”
Yeah keep them damn filthy potheads outta here
A josh gordon wannabe
XFL should hire every player that’s good not involved in the NFL.
Antonio Brown, Johnny Manziel, Micheal Crabtree, Dez Bryant, Eric Berry, Jay Ajayi, Colin Kaepernick, Jerrell Freeman, Justin Gilbert, Silas Redd and so on
Would love to see Manziel and Brown against Kap and Ajayi and Bryant
Some of them want too much money. They think the XFL is a pro league…..
With your list you should have left good out.
Hold my beer while I sign this contract boss

Fantastic job with the clear, concise, and non-repetitive writing. I only wish you put as much attention into properly linking players ♂️
If your name is Callaway you could always give golf a try.
