And just like that, the Antonio Brown era in New England is over.
One of the most physically-gifted and talented wide receivers in the NFL is once again without a job thanks to complications stemming from off-the-field allegations and character concerns. His entire stint with the Patriots lasted less than two weeks total, and he only played in one game for the team: a Week 2 victory over the Miami Dolphins in which Brown caught four of eight passes for 56 yards and a touchdown.
In the wake of a second accuser stepping forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Brown – his ex-trainer Britney Taylor filed a civil suit against him on September 10 alleging three separate incidents of sexual assault/misconduct as well – the Patriots made the decision to release Brown, per ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
