Two days after parting with his third team in six months, Antonio Brown declared himself to be “finished with the NFL” in a Sunday morning tweet, while calling out New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The talented wide receiver was released by the Patriots on Friday amid an investigation into rape and sexual assault accusations, but found a way to make waves ahead of the NFL’s Week 3 Sunday game. In addition to his announcement, Brown fired off scorched-earth tweets, seeing a double standard at play, about Kraft, who has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of soliciting a prostitute last winter, and others who have been accused of sexual assault, including his former quarterback in Pittsburgh, Roethlisberger, and Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe. “Will not be playing in the @NFL anymore,” he tweeted, “these owners can cancel deals do whatever they want at anytime we will see if the @NFLPA hold them accountable sad they can just void guarantees anytime going on 40m 2 months will see if they pay up !” Since March, when he was traded by the Steelers, he has also been cut by the Oakland Raiders.
