Antonio Brown is already getting calls from several teams around the NFL, at least according to him.
The former Buccaneers receiver confirmed to Complex.com that several teams have reached out to him. If true, that means his actions during his last game did not hurt him much at all and his career will likely continue.
“I’m a football player, man. I’m a professional athlete. Let’s not get that twisted. That’s my main thing,” he said, adding that he’s already been in contact with some organizations. “A couple teams called,” Brown revealed.
Brown was asked to comment about how things ended in Tampa and he actually expressed regret on his emotions, but defended his actions.
“It’s not a good feeling with the way it ended, but I just feel good that I represented myself the right way,” he said. “I could have handled my emotions better from walking off the field and making a distraction, but in that moment, I just didn’t want to be a part of it no more. You’re sacrificing your health to play with someone, and they don’t really respect that, so to me that was a smack in the face.”
Brown added, “But I think we all, as people, have got to learn how to control our emotions in hostile environments, via him, via me, via everyone. So I’m just glad I did what my heart said in the moment. I could have handled it better, but I think you’ve got to stand up for yourself.”

“I’m a target in the media, for whatever that entails,” he explained. “Imagine you are at a place and your boss tells you, “Get the hell out of here.” What are you going to do? You’re going to wait until they send you the flight itinerary, or are you going to be gone?”
Since his release, Brown has released a new single, showed up to a Brooklyn Nets and Lakers game and rubbed elbows with many celebrities.
