Antonio Brown is a headline maker. No question about it. But it seems the NFL world is done with his antics. Amidst the recent signings and trades of tier-1 Wide Receivers Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill and Amari Cooper, there is a huge WR sized hole in many teams. And AB wants to fill that space.
So, AB put out a tweet. Concisely worded and hardly concealed. The explosive receiver wrote, “WR AB… Throw it.” Anyone who knows anything about the NFL understood what AB is implying. AB is a top-five receiver on an average day. And on his best day he can compete with the all-time greats.

Antonio Brown is Ready to Go Catch Again
Yet, his off the field actions have always overshadowed his playing prowess. Yet, AB is trying fully to reach out to teams in his own way. Well, don’t know if the Packers, Chiefs & Broncos read it or heard it, but Twitter fans did for sure.
WR AB

One user mentions the fall from grace that AB and his friend have recently, publicly suffered.

Then there is this user who has tried to understand AB’s perspective. In jest, I believe.

Antonio Brown also has ardent followers, who made their bids for AB to join their teams.

Some went a little step further to show support.

And then there were old lovers:

And some dream locations were discussed as well:
Come to KC and catch footballs from the best QB to ever live.

The Reality Is different though
How interested will the front offices of these teams be at the prospect of adding AB, remains to be seen. Brown has been all around the pop culture diaspora trying to prove that it was not really his fault. What happened in Tampa was still visually damaging for nobody but AB. So he still roams around in a tough spot.

Although, his confidence in himself remains intact as ever. Even during the worst of times from our perspective, he shines through with his bright smile. Although, his explosive game remains the only reason why the NFL community is still considering him. Otherwise, consensus is that it is difficult to keep a clean locker-room with such a big personality as AB.
His future remains a mystery. But if the past tells us anything, some or the other team will require his experience and explosiveness sometime during the season.
