Antonio Brown Hints At Impending NFL Deal

In an early morning Instagram post, Antonio Brown teased an impending deal with his fourth-NFL team. “Big 4X soon,” Brown wrote, beneath a picture of him in each of his previous uniforms with the Steelers, Raiders, and Patriots. 

Naturally, this update from Brown needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The wide receiver is still awaiting clearance from the league office as he faces multiple Personal Conduct Policy violations. The NFL could clear Brown to play in 2020, but it would be a shock if he did not have to serve a lengthy suspension.

Even with all the troubling news about Brown over the past year, he remains one of the league’s most intriguing talents. In recent months, Lamar Jackson and some of his teammates have publicly petitioned for the Ravens to sign AB. Meanwhile, GM Eric DeCosta hasn’t ruled him out. He’s also left the door open to a big splash signing this summer.

Do we feel the urgency? We probably feel that with every position,” the GM said. “We want to be the best we can be at every position. This happens to be a wide receiver class with a lot of really good players. If we’re on the clock and we think that guy is the best player, we’ll probably pick him. Hopefully we can build our offense to the point where we can say, ‘Hey, we’re un-defendable.’”

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson also says that he would “love” to play with AB, who would give the Seahawks another imposing weapon alongside featuring Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalfand Greg Olsen. If AB is truly on the brink of an NFL return, it could be with one of those two contenders.
