Antonio Brown, Bucs Will Continue to Have Contract Talks, Says GM Jason Licht

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said he is still discussing a potential new deal with free-agent receiver Antonio Brown.

"We've had discussions throughout the offseason," Licht told reporters Wednesday. "... We've put an emphasis on bringing back players from last year that contributed to our success, and he would be no different. So we'll continue to have talks and see where it goes."

Brown joined the Buccaneers midway through last season after he was suspended eight games for violating the league's personal conduct policy. He was accused of sexual assault by a former personal trainer but he settled the civil case Wednesday, via Chris Bumbaca of USA Today.
