On Friday, the news dropped that controversial WR Antonio Brown was receiving a workout from the New Orleans Saints. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Saints are doing their due diligence on Brown.
Nobody thought they would actually go through with it, given the league hasn’t even made a decision towards their investigation into claims of sexual assault and rape against him.
Well, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the New Orleans Saints are interested in signing the free agent wideout.
“The Saints worked out Antonio Brown on Friday, and he caught every single thing that was thrown to him. He blew away the Saints in the workout, we knew he would.
“The issue is the NFL. The Saints would like to sign Antonio Brown, but they’re waiting for the NFL to issue a ruling, and there’s been no clarity from the NFL as to when the league might make a ruling on the sexual assault allegations that were levied against Antonio Brown in the NFL’s active investigation.
“So as long as the investigation is ongoing, the Saints can’t do anything, but they would be interested in signing him, if only he were free.”
