Report: Antonio Brown Weirdly Absent Postgame With Locker Completely Cleared After Patriots Blowout Win

Antonio Brown was perfect in his debut with the New England Patriots. The team made a really good decision to sign the best receiver in the league. Everyone was impressed with Brown’s game on the field, but he didn’t stay around to celebrate with his team.

Brown’s locker was empty and his nameplate was removed. Media members couldn’t find him in the locker room after the game. Why did he leave so early?

Does not appear Antonio Brown will speak postgame. His locker looks cleaned out and nameplate above it removed.

Well, it’s sort of understandable. Brown deal with terrible accusation at the moment, and his professional success is in danger. His personal trainer, Britney Taylor, filed a civil lawsuit against him. Taylor accused Brown of raping her in 2018.

Maybe Brown played smart here. Reporters would have been interested in his allegations instead of the fact that he was able to catch four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown in his first game with New England.

We’d like to ask so many questions about this, but let’s just wait for the NFL to finish its investigation into the scandal.

A Sunday report suggests that Brown and his accuser discussed a possible settlement, but the superstar wide receiver refused to give her $2 million.

“Brown declined to sign a $2 million-plus agreement with Britney Taylor to settle a sexual assault allegation made by the wide receiver’s former trainer, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Darlington.

“Brown had a deadline last Sunday night to sign the settlement agreement before Taylor’s attorneys sought to file their civil lawsuit against him. After Brown didn’t sign off on the settlement, the suit was filed Tuesday.

“Settlement discussions began as early as April and included two mediations, one of which occurred in May, sources familiar with the talks told Darlington.

“Brown’s decision not to sign the settlement came around the same time that he agreed to a deal with the New England Patriots, which his agent revealed Sept. 7 and was formalized Monday.”

Well, Taylor will meet the NFL this week, and Brown will have his own meeting, too. There are two sides of a story, and let’s just wait to see who was lying.
