Well, if Antonio Brown is serious about ending his NFL career, he won’t be taking his talents to the XFL.
According to Pro Football Talk:
“An XFL spokesperson tells PFT that the fledgling spring league is not interested in Brown.”
The league can say that now, but Brown would bring a tremendous amount of coverage for a league that is coming back into the mix after lasting just one season in the early 2000’s.
As far as Brown’s career goes, he was released by Oakland and lost out on $30 million in a guaranteed contract, which was voided by the Raiders. Later that day, he agreed to terms with the Patriots on a one-year contract for $15 million, including $9 million in guaranteed money.
The guaranteed money was going to get split into two separate payments, and the first payment of $5 million was due on the coming Monday.

Unfortunately for him, his conduct was detrimental to the team so the Pats likely vioded his guaranteed payment.
On Sunday, it was said that he was filing a grievance to get his money from the Patriots.
Brown earned one game check that amounted to $158,333, and that will likely be the only money that he leaves New England with.
