Jetsfan80 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 It's important to note that there could be additional penalties coming. 8 games is just the starting point. But I suppose its good news for Brown that he didn't get a 1-year ban right off the bat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 ANTONIO BROWN SUSPENDED FOR FIRST 8 REGULAR-SEASON GAMES OF 2020 SEASON FOR VIOLATIONS OF NFL’S PERSONAL CONDUCT POLICY Antonio Brown was notified today by NFL Special Counsel for Conduct Todd Jones that he has been suspended without pay for the first eight regular-season games of the 2020 season for multiple violations of the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy. Brown, who played one game in the 2019 season for the New England Patriots before being released, is an unrestricted free agent and may sign with any team. If he is signed before the start of the 2020 season, Brown would be eligible to participate in all of his club's preseason activities. Brown's suspension would take effect as of the final roster reduction on September 5. He would be eligible to return after the team's eighth game. As part of the discipline, Brown was directed to continue his program of counseling and treatment, and that he is expected fully to cooperate with his clinicians. Brown was advised that any future violation of the Personal Conduct Policy will likely result in more significant discipline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his suspension gets games tacked on such that he can't play or doesn't get signed this year, I agree. He has to get on the field this year to remain relevant. By 2021 he'll be 33, and will have only caught a total of 4 passes in the 2 years prior. And who knows what other trouble he'll get into while away from the league for a full season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Hernandez Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 This dude should never play again. He's really brain damaged, on a scale of 1 to 10. He's at a 10.

#27TheDominator Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I don't want any part of him, but the guy had 15TDs in 2018. He was on the Patriots for 20 minutes and had 4 catches and a TD. Extrapolated over a 16 game season his numbers would have been 64/896/16. You don't think somebody is going to take a chance on that? Packers or Seahawks are probably most likely. Maybe Tampa.

Packers or Seahawks are probably most likely. Maybe Tampa. The suspensions aren't done yet, and I'm sure he'll find a way to get into more trouble. He won't play this season even if/when someone signs him. By the time he's eligible he'll be 33, at minimum, and would not have stepped on a football field for nearly 2 calendar years. Not saying someone won't sign him or even that they shouldn't. But it's fool's gold. Josh Gordon has a better shot at being an impact player this year than Brown.
