Antonio Brown is easily one of the most mercurial personalities in NFL history. He forced his way out of Pittsburgh after walking off the field before the end of a game. Then he did crazy stuff to get cut by Las Vegas. A domestic violence issue sees him cut by New England, and then he somehow topped himself last year by stripping down to his pants and walking to the locker room through the end zone in the middle of a game.
The guy is a character, a diva, and a malcontent, all rolled
into one. He is also unemployed. The former All-Pro is starting to realize his financial possibilities outside of football aren't as lucrative as he was anticipating when he made his grand exit. Now he seems to be trying to wiggle his way back into the NFL. It started when the Cleveland Browns pulled off their blockbuster trade for Deshaun Watson on March 18th. Shortly afterward, Brown fired off this tweet.
Subtle right?
Then a week later he decided to try again, letting everybody know he's available.
The desperation is starting to become palpable. So much in fact that he even likes the idea of joining the
Chicago Bears, as one fan seemed to confirm on Twitter.

How ironic. A couple of years ago, Antonio Brown laughed at the idea of joining the Bears. Now that he's burnt every last bridge imaginable, he's suddenly on board with the idea. He can keep on waiting. That is not an idea new GM Ryan Poles is likely to go within 100 yards of. Brown might be a great player, but he doesn't embody any of the personality traits this team prioritizes. To say nothing of the awful influence he'd have on Justin Fields and that wide receiver room.
Never mind he turns 34-years old in July. The Bears are trying to get younger anyway. Let him be somebody else's problem.
