The Antonio Brown era in New England will only last one game, after the Patriots’ sudden release of the wide receiver on Friday.
While making his Patriots debut in their Week 2 game against the Titans, Brown has also been the subject of allegations of sexual harassment and a civil lawsuit in September. The NFL has met with Brown’s accuser and will continue to investigate the allegations following his release.
Taking these accusations into consideration along with everything else from the last eight months, it’s been quite a whirlwind for AB. From his fallout with the Steelers to his eventual acquisition by the Raiders (and nearly the Bills!) to his beef with GM Mike Mayock that ultimately resulted in his release, a whole lot has happened to get Brown to this point. And that’s not even to mention any of the helmet stuff!
So far, Brown has been able to bounce back from just about every obstacle he’s encountered, whether self-inflicted or otherwise. Every twist and turn in this saga has been met with another twist and turn, so who knows what’s next? Unlike some of those other issues, however, accusations of sexual assault would seem less likely to take a backseat to football.
Meanwhile, Brown has pivoted to... giving out free stuff on Instagram.
