Brown had his problems which caused an exit in both Pittsburgh and Oakland since last season. Since joining the Patriots, sexual assault allegations have come out about the wide receiver. The NFL has been reviewing the matter, but has not made a ruling on it yet.
His stint with the Patriots was short-lived, but he did play in one game for the team, against the Miami Dolphins. He had four catches for 56 yards and a touchdown.
In his 10-year career, he has made the Pro Bowl seven times. He has been one of the NFL’s best receivers with 841 receptions for 11,263 yards and 75 touchdowns.
Brown is now an unrestricted free agent who will be free to sign with any team if there is any interest in him.
