After an unusually quiet Antonio Brown stretch, the high-profile free agent has begun to resurface. He expects to learn his NFL suspension outcome soon and have a new team, and the Seahawks and Ravens have been linked to the mercurial superstar.
A report Tuesday indicated the Ravens were engaging in internal discussions on the ex-Steeler standout, but veteran NFL reporter Josina Anderson tweets that is not the case. The Ravens are not earnestly considering Brown, Anderson adds.
Antonio’s cousin, Marquise Brown, resides as Baltimore’s No. 1 wide receiver. But the team is still fairly light on wideout depth. However, that may be partially by design, with the Ravens operating the NFL’s run-heaviest attack. Hollywood Brown and Willie Snead are the defending AFC North champions’ best-known wideouts. Antonio Brown may not be an especially content performer in Baltimore’s offense, and Brown has certainly been known to voice frustration over the past year and change.
Lamar Jackson would be in favor of his team taking a gamble on Antonio Brown. The two worked out together earlier this offseason. But the four-time All-Pro will almost certainly begin the season with a suspension due to the off-field trouble in which he’s been involved. The Ravens may well end up sticking with their status quo.
The Seahawks have been the other team connected to Brown recently, and Russell Wilson has long made his pro-Brown-to-Seattle view known. For now, though, the soon-to-be 32-year-old wideout remains unattached — as he’s been since the Patriots released him after his first wave of off-field issues surfaced last September.
AB, you mocked the Steelers. Leaders since the 70’s; Raiders’ Silver & Black’ -70’s till present & NE this century. And expect fans or organizations to ignore that? Have fun slapping your kids or wives. Fans are done with you.
GTFOH
Lmao the man is still one of the best WR the game has ever seen and he has been keeping quite recently. Steelers aren’t leading anything now especially with Ben at the end of his career. Plus with no Bell and Brown he doesn’t really have help. Juju showed he isn’t a reliable #1 and Connor keeps getting injured. The fact that you called the Raiders leaders today is comical. In a division that ha the Chargers and Chiefs they aren’t making it out and the Broncos look promising if they can get a QB. I will agree that the Pats have ruled this century but without Brady they aren’t making the playoffs with their current QB situation. I think AB will sign somewhere and return as one of the top WRs in the league especially if it’s with Russ. As a Ravens fan I loved the idea of AB before the draft but since we got Duvernay and Proche it just doesn’t make sense. Not saying I wouldn’t love to have him but it isn’t a necessity especially being so run dominant.
Talking about AB being one of the best wide receivers the game has ever seen puts him in Jerry Rice etc territory…..talented but not sure about this comparison you make.
Potentially a locker room cancer if he doesn’t get his way.
Outside of football, he certainly isn’t anybody’s role model for sure.
But that’s what holds them back. Short throws and runs. Chiefs dont do that. Chiefs won. Be like the Chiefs. Sign AB, convert Justice Hill to wide receiver. AB and Andrews crossover mid field. Hollywood and Hill go deep on the outside. it’s uncoverable.
3 (now 4) comments about Antonio Brown?
His story has now gotten so pathetic it’s not even funny.
Literally.
Why are you reading an article and leaving a comment about a story (and human being) you find pathetic?
…to remark that it’s pathetic. Didn’t you read it?
Controversial.
Amusing.
Pathetic.
That’s the progression of his last two years. He’s just recently made the move to the newest phase.
Depending on whether his brain continues to melt like Velveeta, we might soon enter the sad or macabre phase.
If you can find a story about Jonas Salk, maybe I’ll comment on a person I find admirable.
Over and out Antonio!
