Antonio Brown training with Seahawks QB Geno Smith
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is looking for an NFL comeback, and while some teams may be interested, the 31-year-old is a less than admirable person and has had trouble regaining his footing in the league.
However, that hasn't stopped Brown from training amid the coronavirus pandemic, and he worked out in a rather odd combination of gear. The seven-time Pro Bowler was catching passes while wearing his old Steelers pants and Raiders helmet, although he never played for Jon Gruden's team.
Brown requested, and was released by the Raiders in September after Oakland (now Las Vegas) fined him over $215,000 for conduct detrimental to the team. He then signed a deal with the New England Patriots, but played just one game with the organization before being released due to a sexual assault scandal in which he was involved.
While the Baltimore Ravens have been rumored to be interested in Brown after he worked out with Lamar Jackson, the Seattle Seahawks are also reportedly interested as quarterback Russell Wilson stated he would "love" for his team to sign the wide receiver.
It seems that Brown signing with either of those teams is a long shot, although his workout in the combination of Steelers and Raiders gear was, in fact, a session with Seahawks backup Geno Smith.
So maybe Seattle will take a chance on the troubled receiver after all? Although, it's still hard to say at this point because head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider have yet to comment on the matter.
