Hard to have sympathy for this guy. Is habitually an a$$hole to people he deems as beneath him. fukks people over for no reason and skips out on paying people when the money he owes them is literally nothing to him.

He won't play rest of the year but around free agency or training camp next year some team let's say Redskins will sign him. Probably will get a suspension come back Week 9 ,gets into it with Dwayne Haskins gets cut and The End. When the Patriots get rid of you your career just dies .
Looking back the Steelers should’ve just taken the 1st round pick that the patriots were allegedly offering in the offseason
Hindsight. They didn’t want to give their best player to their biggest rival. No one suspected he’d sabotage the Raiders gig. Imagine OBJ doing that in Cleveland to get signed with the Cowboys

What's Antonio Brown doing in the IMPACT Zone?!?!
Vince needs to throw a bag at Antonio Brown, he’d be the biggest heel in Wrestling
Then again, he probably fumble the bag by sexually harassing Sasha Banks backstage
Patriots owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick jointly determined Friday that wide receiver Antonio Brown had overstayed his welcome.
Kraft, who was on a business trip, became enraged Friday when he heard the details of Brown’s most recently reported incident of text messaging harassment of a former female acquaintance. Kraft and Belichick spoke and decided together to officially release Brown just 11 days after the Patriots signed the controversial star receiver, according to sources.
This all came to a head due to a pair of Sports Illustrated reports this week. First, it was reported Brown made unwanted sexual advances upon a female artist at his home in 2017. Then, it was reported Brown texted that woman Wednesday night, accusing her of fabricating that story in an attempt for financial gain.
As part of that text chain, which included five other people, Brown suggested to “look up her background history” and then included a photo of her children. The artist’s lawyer told Sports Illustrated her client wasn’t seeking money but just wanted the harassment to stop and reached out to the NFL to report the incident.
That was it for the Patriots, who were already dealing with a tumultuous start to Brown’s quick tenure. A day after he signed a contract worth $10 million guaranteed, Brown’s former trainer filed a civil lawsuit that accused him of rape and sexual assault. Brown denied the allegations through his lawyer.
The Patriots seemed at first willing to allow Brown to defend himself against those civil accusations. They issued a statement Sept. 10 saying, “The league has informed us that they will be investigating. We will have no further comment while that investigation takes place.”
Brown then played against the Dolphins on Sunday, as planned, leading the team with four catches for 56 yards and a touchdown in the 43-0 victory at Hard Rock Stadium.
Brown continued to practice this week despite the allegations in the initial Sports Illustrated story. And Thursday, the day after he reportedly texted the painter, Brown was asked if he had heard from the NFL about his availability to play Sunday against the Jets. Brown replied, “I’m just here to focus on ball.”
It then seemed Belichick, albeit slightly, changed his tune Friday when asked about the publicized text messages. Referring to Brown, Belichick said, “There are some things that we’re looking into.”
That appeared to acknowledge the change in the way the Patriots were checking into Brown’s history, from deferring to the NFL’s investigation on his second day of employment to including their own research and determinations on his last day.
However, while that process was continuing to play itself out, Belichick also noted Brown was still on the roster when asked if he’d be playing Sunday against the Jets.
Later in the afternoon, the team announced it would release 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,” the Patriots said in a statement.
Ultimately, the Patriots determined they could no longer defend Brown. They can also choose to fight to recoup his $9 million signing bonus by citing conduct that was detrimental to the organization.
The Patriots could have cut Brown a week earlier in the wake of the civil suit and cited similar detrimental conduct to recoup his money, but they chose to give him a chance. When it became clear Brown’s off-field conduct was reflecting a certain pattern of behavior, both Kraft and Belichick determined they’d had enough.
