TMZ reports:
As we previously reported, the Patriots signed Brown on Sept. 7 — hours after he was cut by the Oakland Raiders following multiple issues with Raiders executives.
Brown didn’t sign his contract with the Pats until Sept. 9. His deal was a 1-year contract worth up to $15 mil with a $9 million signing bonus.
Days after Brown signed his deal with the Pats, a woman named Britney Taylor filed a lawsuit against AB accusing him of forcible rape in 2018, along with 2 allegations of sexual assault in 2017.
Brown has denied all wrongdoing and vowed to explore his own legal options. Brown was not arrested or charged with a crime in that case. Taylor never went to police.
Earlier this week, Sports Illustrated published a report containing allegations from a 2nd woman who accused Brown of sexual misconduct.
Brown later sent that woman menacing text messages in which Brown directs associates to look into the accuser’s family. He also sent a pic of the accuser’s children.
The NFL was contacted by the woman’s attorney and immediately launched an investigation.
With all of this going on, do y’all believe another team will take Antonio Brown? Leave us a comment below.
