Last Sunday, former New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown took to Twitter and declared that he was completely down with the NFL. After his second release from an NFL team in a two-week span, Brown had become enraged at the amount of guaranteed money that both the Raiders and Patriots weren’t paying to him, even though he signed for in his contract.
However, agent Drew Rosenhaus is not so certain that his client is done with the league.
Speaking to Warren Sapp on the 99 Problems podcast, Rosenhaus revealed the 31-year-old actually wants to continue playing in the NFL, and there are several teams interested in his services.
“I believe that Antonio wants to continue his career in the NFL,” Rosenhaus told Sapp. This statement went against the information that Brown had provided on Twitter during his Sunday posting spree, but Rosenhaus provided some extra context.
“I have had discussions with a few teams that are very interested in him and want to know about his future and what’s going on with the NFL,” Rosenhaus said. “Hopefully, when that is all resolved, Antonio will be able to continue his Hall of Fame career.”
There are several concerns of Brown and his off the field legal issues as he currently faces accusations of sexual assault, sexual misconduct, throwing furniture over a balcony, and refusing to pay money owed to clients.
“It’s a very difficult time for him, not playing,” Rosenhaus continued. “We expected him to be playing against the Jets on Sunday, so it’s tough for someone who loves the game not to be playing right now, and the hope is that we’ll cooperate with the NFL in its investigation and get him back with a team to continue this tremendous career he’s had.”

Brown still has the extreme talent at his position that is going to make any team give it a try, they just have to deal with the other nonsense that comes with it.
