After his short stint with the Patriots this fall, the team will not re-sign wide receiver Antonio Brown, according to The Athletic.
On Thursday, rumors circulated that New England might be interested in bringing back Brown, but The Athletic reports otherwise.
The Patriots signed Brown on Sept. 7 after he was released by the Raiders. Shortly after his signing, his former trainer, Britney Taylor, filed a lawsuit accusing him of rape and sexual assault. Brown denied the allegations in the suit through his a statement from his attorney.
A source told The Athletic that New England would have never signed Brown if the team was aware of the lawsuit.
