Antonio Brown was cut from the New England Patriots. |
The Patriots announced that they had released Antonio Brown.
The football star is facing sexual abuse allegations from two women and also a slew of controversies while with the Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Brown was released only a mere 11 days. He signed the deal for $15 million.
The wide receiver who started his career with Pittsburgh was feuding with the now injured Ben Roethlisberger. He called out Roethlisberger and coach Mike Tomlin during the AFC finals.
He was let go from the Steelers in 2018. He was signed on to the Raiders and was at odds with the team and general manager. He called the manager a cracker and was fined heavily for missing games.
He also was forced to apologize for his remarks and soon released from the team.
His brief signing to the Patriots was marred with controversy. A former personal trainer accused Brown of inappropriate touching and catching her on numerous occasions trying to accost her.
He was also walking around in the nude trying to beg her for sexual favors.
Then another accuser came forth. She claimed that he tried to accost her with sexual favors.
What got Bill Belichick upset was the relentless questions about Brown's future. He actually had to cut a presser short because of this.
What got Robert Kraft upset was the fact that Brown didn't stay out of the limelight.
Brown allegedly texted an accuser with threats and that was the last straw.
On social media, Brown did say thanks to the team for giving him an opportunity.

He also lost his deal with Nike. The shoe company cut ties with him as soon as the allegations started building up.
