BREAKING NEWS: Antonio Brown Says He’s Done Playing in the NFL

Another day, another twist in the 2019 Antonio Brown NFL saga. He made the headlines once again when he was released by the New England Patriots on Friday afternoon.

It would stand to reason that if he wasn’t able to stick with the Patriots that none of the other 31 teams–especially the Pittsburgh Steelers and Oakland Raiders–would want to have him and the drama surrounding him off the field on their team going forward.

Today, Antonio Brown took the time to share his stance on his future in the NFL:

It’s been reported that New England was not planning on giving Brown his full $9 million signing bonus and on top of the $30 million of guaranteed money voided by the Raiders, that accounts for the $40 million that Brown refers to in his tweets.

The NFLPA will represent Brown as he attempts to recoup that money but he followed his unofficial retirement announcement with a prolonged Twitter rant. In the said rant, Brown took aim at the likes of Patriots owner Robert Kraft, NFL Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe, and former teammate Ben Roethlisberger for their past sexual indiscretions:

One can assume that Brown feels that him being shunned by the league in the face of the civil lawsuit he’s facing for an alleged sexual assault (along with a second accusor coming forward) his hypocritical compared to the treatment of other NFL players and owners who faced sexual assault charges in their past.

This latest news makes it clear that the Antonio Brown storyline is nowhere near complete even though he is no longer on a roster.
