My how the mighty have fallen.
It was just two short years ago when Antonio Brown was putting together a multi-year stretch which hasn't been seen before in the NFL. Brown's connection with Ben Roethlisberger was the stuff of legend as the two dominated on a weekly basis.
But all good things must come to an end, and Brown forced himself out of Pittsburgh wanting to hit one last pay day. He did so via trade with the Raiders, but never played a snap for Jon Gruden. Instead, he was able to find his way to the Patriots, but his stay was short lived after off field allegations and accusations forced New England to release the All-Pro receiver.
Since that time, Brown has settled one of his two court cases, and is hoping to get another shot to return to the NFL at the age of 31. Who would take a shot at bringing in Brown? Rumors began swirling about the Ravens showing interest after Brown was seen working out with Lamar Jackson this offseason. Shortly after those stories circulated, the Ravens stated they were not interested in signing Brown.
A reunion with the only other quarterback Brown has ever caught a pass from would be in line, right? That quarterback would be Tom Brady, and the team would be the Buccaneers. Alas, the Buccaneers also followed suit and said they didn't want to sign Brown.
So who is left? The only team who has been consistently interested in Brown, and hasn't debunked those rumors, are the Seahawks. To intensify those rumors, Brown posted video of him running routes and catching passes with Russell Wilson on his social media accounts.
