Last week, Antonio Brown was suspended for eight games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. It will take take effect Week 1 regardless of whether he’s on an NFL roster and it could be extended pending the outcome of a civil suit against him in Florida, the league announced.
“Brown, who played one game in the 2019 season for the New England Patriots before being released, is an unrestricted free agent and may sign with any team. If he is signed before the start of the 2020 season, Brown would be eligible to participate in all of his club’s preseason activities. Brown’s suspension would take effect as of the final roster reduction on September 5. He would be eligible to return after the team’s eighth game,” the NFL said.
“As part of the discipline, Brown was directed to continue his program of counseling and treatment, and that he is expected fully to cooperate with his clinicians.
“Brown was advised that any future violation of the Personal Conduct Policy will likely result in more significant discipline.”
Many teams have expressed interest in signing Brown, but have stayed away as they awaited the league to finish their investigation on him. Now that it is finally finished, SportsBetting.ag has released the odds on which teams are more likely to sign him during the 2020 season.
- Green Bay Packers: +200
- Seattle Seahawks: +250
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers: +300
- Baltimore Ravens: +400
- Philadelphia Eagles: +750
- Indianapolis Colts: +1000
- Jacksonville Jaguars: +1000
- Chicago Bears: +1200
- Cincinnati Bengals: +1500
The Packers elected not to bring any offensive help for Aaron Rodgers after the team came within one game of getting to the Super Bowl. Signing a talent like Brown would be huge.
