Antonio Brown’s saga in the NFL has been an interesting one that came to a screeching halt back in September of 2019 as numerous allegations surfaced.

In the weeks following the start of this investigation, Brown continued to become more erratic although, after his arrest in January of 2020, he has significantly calmed down and has gotten help.

Recently, Brown demanded that the NFL finish its investigation as it was seemingly taking forever. Not to mention, numerous teams are interested in Brown although the investigation has made him unavailable.
