Antonio Brown was initially released by Oakland Raiders before he got signed to New England Patriots days after.

He was still in the middle of that before another woman showed up with second accusation that Antonio Brown sexually assaulted her.

He was also accused of sending the second woman threatening text messages, which prompted another investigation by the NFL Then a doctor filed lawsuit against Brown for owing him and repeatedly farting in his face.

The Patriots issued the following statement on Friday afternoon: “The New England Patriots are releasing Antonio Brown. We appreciate the hard work of many people over the past 11 days, but we feel that it is best to move in a different direction at this time.”

Patriots released Antonio Brown. His stay in New England lasted one game.

Following the stunning announcement, Brown simply tweeted, “Thank you for the opportunity @Patriots #GoWinIt.”

It’ll be very much unlikely to get another team to sign him after New England Patriots has released him..

Wait, what? I thought Antonio Brown’s helmet drama and Raider exit was just part of AB’s brilliant plan. So he’s not a marketing genius ?

Steelers only ones who got anything out of Antonio Brown this year, unless you want to count that TD catch in Patriots’ 43-0 win. The No. 3 pick they got from Raiders for him (& a 5th) will make his first start Sunday

There were only a couple teams who showed interest in Antonio Brown before he signed with Pats, that list will probably be whittled down to zero for the foreseeable future

Loved the narrative that Antonio Brown knew was he was doing by behaving himself out of the Raiders deal to get the Pats deal. Now what?

Antonio Brown has been traded once and cut twice in the span of six months this.

There is now question as to whether he will ever play in the NFL again.
