Ahead of his Arena Football League debut this weekend, Antonio Brown’s agent told CBS Sports that there has been “genuine” interest from NFL teams who could potentially consider signing the controversial star receiver., which has also included working with the AFL franchise in the city where his father, Eddie Brown, starred in the 1990s.
If an opportunity emerged, it’d mark a strange return to the NFL for Brown, who hasn’t played in a game — or signed with a team — sinceduring a Buccaneers game against the Jets in January 2022. Then-Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said following the game that Brown was no longer a member of the team, and that has remained the same for Tampa Bay — and any other NFL franchise — in the 17 months since.Screengrab via Twitter/@Griffin__Haas
