According to wide receiver Antonio Brown’s Twitter account, the talented veteran wideout has been released by the Patriots — a fact that was confirmed by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shortly after.
After one game and almost two weeks of wild news cycles, the 10-year NFL star is once again without a team after SI’s Robert Klemko’s reporting from Thursday evening that Brown sent menacing text messages to a second sexual misconduct accuser.
After a brief opening statement at today’s press conference, head coach Bill Belichick fielded seven questions regarding Brown’s status on the roster before cutting out of the session early, clearly not pleased with the line of questioning.
