Antonio Brown Says He’s Done Playing in the NFL

After being released from the Patriots on Friday, Antonio Brown decided to start off his Sunday by announcing that he will not continue his NFL career, while going at Pats owner, Robert Kraft, in the process. 

“Will not be playing in the [NFL] anymore these owners can cancel deals do whatever they want at anytime,” Brown wrote. “[W]e will see if the [NFLPA] hold them accountable sad they can just void guarantees anytime going on 40m 2 months will see if they pay up !” The wideout then likened his pending sexual assault case to the legal issues that Kraft dealt with this summer.

“Kraft got caught in the parlor AB speculations fired different strokes different folks clearly,” Brown wrote in a tweet featuring a picture of himself and his accuser, Britney Taylor.

According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, several Patriots told the front office that they were not on board with Kraft’s decision to release AB. 

“The decision to release Brown was led by owner Robert Kraft, sources say, sparked by the text messages that came to light Friday and by the thought that the end was not near,” Rapoport reported. “Several players privately voiced their displeasure that the move was made, as Brown had made a positive impression on teammates in a short time. He did things in practice no one else could do.”

In his Sunday tweetstorm, Brown also brought up sexual assault allegations against his new nemesis Shannon Sharpe, as well as former teammate, Ben Roethlisberger. 

One source told Adam Schefter that Brown’s “latest Twitter tirade” is going to cost him.
