This Doesn't Look Like a Great Legal Sign for Antonio Brown

Published|Updated

Free agent wide receiver Antonio Brown is currently serving an eight-game NFL suspension, but he's not yet in the free and clear to resume his professional football career when that concludes. He still has a pending civil case. On Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reported that Brown's attorney withdrew from the case the day before an important deadline:




Brown was sued last year by Britney Taylor, who alleges that he sexually assaulted her. Brown has countersued Taylor for defamation and interference of his NFL opportunities.

It's hard to construe it as a good thing for Brown that his attorney parted ways the day before an important deadline in the case.
