Antonio Brown Wants Back In The NFL – But Wants New Team To Handle Ankle Surgery!

Antonio Brown clearly wants back in the NFL. The question is: Does any team want Brown on its roster.

We know the headaches he can cause, but, when you have talent like “AB” does, there’s usually at least one team willing to take a chance.

The catch (pun intended) is that any team willing to put up with his antics will also have to worry about his ankle injury, which was allegedly a bone (yep, pun intended) of contention with the Buccaneers. The injury is likely to require surgery—of course there has to be an obstacle.

“I need to get my ankle fixed, but I just want to make sure I got an obligation or a commitment from a team,” Brown said. “It’s a lot for a guy to go do surgery without an idea of where you gonna work, or who you going to work for.”

So…yeah.

You can cross one team off the list of potential suitors: the Bucs. (Most likely the Steelers as well.)

“I don’t think that’s a possibility,” Brown said of returning to Tampa. “How things were handled. How I was handled in regards to the injury. [They] just weren’t able to use me for my value. My true value. But I was grateful for the opportunity and the position that I was in and I made the most out of it.”

“I still feel like I can put up big numbers, and I see what these guys are getting paid,” he added. “I just wonder why my value isn’t being upheld as the same.”
