Receiver Antonio Brown continues to be connected to lots of teams but employed by none of them. At a time when the team that might be the most interested in Brown (the Seahawks) has yet to make a relocation, another possibility could be emerging.
Still, Brown is thought about to be one of the top receivers in the video game, even if hes not in the game. The most significant obstacle to Brown being in the video game are three different off-field concerns for which the league is still examining him. As discussed during Thursdays #PFTPM (clip embedded), the league has actually taken too long to fix the scenario emerging from last Septembers lawsuit submitted against Brown. Whatever the decision on that and other problems (including his recent no-contest plea to felony charges developing from an altercation with the driver of a moving truck), Brown needs to get credit for 14 games of de facto unpaid suspension in 2019, when the possibility that Brown would be put on the Commissioner Exempt list kept interested teams from using Brown.
None of that matters, nevertheless, because the NFL controls the timeline and the outcome. Until the league rules on his status, groups likely will continue to wait– unless and until a team chooses to force the leagues hand, like the Saints appeared to be thinking about doing late last season.

Whether coach/G. M. Bill OBrien is interested ends up being a different concern. Although the Texans traded DeAndre Hopkins to the Cardinals, Houston traded for Brandin Cooks– and they also have Will Fuller and Kenny Stills.
Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has reacted to a Thursday tweet from previous NFL receiver Chad Johnson suggesting Brown to Houston by publishing a meme of Drake with the window down in his limousine, which per the cool kids in the class implies Watson is interested.
