Antonio Brown has been through an enormous amount of trials and tribulations throughout the last year or so but that hasn’t stopped him from working hard and trying to get himself back into the NFL. As it stands, Brown is without a team and it remains to be seen when he will ever step foot onto an NFL field again. Of course, we are in free agency right now but no team has expressed much interest in the former Steelers star. For now, his career is in jeopardy and the longer he stays without a team, the worse things will get.

Despite all of this, Brown remains optimistic and his latest Instagram post is proof of that. As you can see, he has been going to local football fields and has been running routes and catching passes, to keep his skills in shape. Based on what you see in the post below, it is clear that he is still an elite receiver and could be a weapon on virtually any team.

It remains to be seen if there is still a market for him out there although considering how many squads need a star receiver, there is surely one team that will take a chance on him.

Either way, stay tuned for updates concerning the NFL as we will be sure to bring them to you.

Over the years, the New England Patriots have been known to be sticklers when it comes to their player personnel. Head coach Bill Belichick has no problems cutting a player out of the blue, or worse, benching them during the final quarters of a Super Bowl. While some players have positive memories of the Patriots, others not so much. 

One of the players who have some negative thoughts on the infamous dynasty is former wide receiver Aaron Dobson who left the team in 2015. On draft day, Dobson went on a lengthy rant in which he laced into the Patriots for the way they treated him. As he explains, the team sabotaged him during the 2015 season and he is still looking for answers.

Rex Ryan has been known for being a bit of a hot take artist ever since his foray into sports analysis. The former head coach was always an outspoken man back in his heyday and that still continues, even in 2020. ESPN's Get Up! is where he spends most of his time and on Friday morning, he came through with some slander for Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, Amari Cooper.

Cooper recently signed a massive deal with the Cowboys worth $100 million over five seasons. Ryan trashed the deal saying the money they gave Cooper should be given to quarterback Dak Prescott. Ryan also went on to say that Cooper has been known to disappear and that he doesn't love football. He even went as so far as to hit with a personal insult, calling him a "turd."

Former wide receiver Antonio Brown dissed current wide receiver Julio Jones, on Instagram, Sunday. Brown says he’s the best wide receiver in the game and claims to have the stats to prove it.

“I’m the best receiver in the game,” AB said. “Tell Julio to look up the stats. I got more touchdowns than Julio Jones in the past five years and I took a year off.

“When you talk to me, talk facts,” Brown says on Instagram live.

Brown isn’t lying about his stats. The disgraced receiver has 47 touchdown catches since 2015, compared to Jones’ 31 touchdown catches. The edge goes to Jones when it comes to yards, however. Jones has 7794 yards, whereas Brown has just 6004 yards.

While a talented player, it’s Brown’s off the field antics that paint a clearer picture as to why he remains a free agent. He was released by the Pittsburg Steelers, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the New England Patriots, all in one year’s time. With Tom Brady signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brown has been linked to the Bucs, but head coach Bruce Arians says that it’s not going to happen: “Yea, it’s not gonna happen. There’s no room. It’s just not gonna happen. It’s just not a fit here.”

When Antonio Brown isn't engaging in antics that are detrimental to his career, he is actually one of the best wide receivers in the entire NFL. Some feel like Brown could be one of the greatest of all time although his off the field issues have guaranteed that it will never happen, at least not in the immediate future. Brown is now a free agent and can go wherever he wants. The only issue is that he is at the complete mercy of the NFL. His behavior has made teams want to avoid him and there is no guarantee that the league will let him play should he get a new contract.

While surfing on Instagram recently, Brown was met with the possibility of signing with the Baltimore Ravens and playing with MVP winner Lamar Jackson. Brown had two words for this as he said "Scary Site." Of course, he meant "sight" but we digress. This writer has definitely made some spelling mistakes in his time and you commenters are never shy to point them out.

Antonio Brown has been through quite a bit over these past few months. From arrests to allegations, Brown has been trying to get things under control and start fresh. Over the past few weeks, Brown has been on an apology tour of sorts and has been looking to make amends with everyone he has supposedly done wrong. He has also been working incredibly hard at his craft so that he can get back into a rhythm and maybe force his way back into the NFL.

Today, AB hopped on Twitter and posted a video of himself at the gym. As you can see from the clip below, he is bench pressing 315 pounds. This was immediately after he benched 225 pounds for 15 reps. Brown claims he is stronger than he's ever been in his life which is pretty impressive given the circumstances.  

Antonio Brown has been one of the most fascinating athletes in the sports world over the last six months or so. He has gotten himself into quite a bit of trouble but now he’s trying to turn his life around and work his way back into the NFL. It remains to be seen whether or not a team will give him a chance although if there is one thing for certain, he won’t be heading to the XFL, anytime soon. 

During an interview with The Breakfast Club, Brown spoke out about the league and whether or not he would ever join it. Brown was quite harsh about the level of football and was pretty dismissive in the process. Based on his response, it’s clear he would prefer to play in the NFL.

“I don’t really watch lower-class football … I don’t support XFL, man. If it ain’t the highest level, man, I don’t wanna do it,” Brown said. “I’m not playing XFL … it ain’t even about the money to me, for real. I don’t wanna go chill with 60 dudes every day; guys jealous ’cause AB gettin’ all the touchdowns; guys jealous AB getting all the girls they be wishing about.”

While it’s all well and good that he wants to play in the NFL, it’s all contingent on whether the league wants him. If the NFL turns AB aside, he will have already burned a bridge with the XFL, which could spell trouble.

Dez Bryant was one of the best wide receivers in the entire NFL when he was in his prime. Unfortunately, Bryant eventually left the Dallas Cowboys and he hasn’t been able to secure himself a spot in the league, ever since. Injuries have certainly hurt Bryant’s case although he is adamant about someday getting back into the league. In fact, Bryant has been very open as of late in regard to rejoining the Cowboys who were his very first love.

During a recent conversation, Bryant spoke about the brand new XFL and whether or not it’s an avenue he would ever consider. As he explains, he still thinks he can make it in the NFL and that for now, the XFL isn’t even on his radar despite him knowing that deep down, it’s a high level of competition.

“Nah, not at all,” Bryant said per Lorenzo Reyes of USA Today. “I know I can still play. That’s not an issue for me. I have high confidence in myself. No disrespect to the XFL, I just know I can play in (the NFL), that’s not a question.”

With NFL free agency on the horizon, we’re surely going to hear Bryant’s name a lot over the next month. With this in mind, stay tuned for updates on the biggest ongoing stories in the NFL.

Antonio Brown has been in plenty of debacles over the last year but amazingly, he has been able to come out on the other side with a positive attitude. While this may not have always been the case, Brown is now displaying positivity throughout his social media pages and seems to be content with how things have been going since his arrest in Miami.

Recently, Brown took to his Instagram account where he posted some poignant advice for all of his fans out there. Brown addresses those who are going through a tough time and need some guidance in their period of despair. AB boils his advice down to three words that can help you re-focus and gain a new lease on life.

“APG, Appreciation, Perspective, Gratitude. 3 things to remember if you get pissed off or distracted about anything today think from this perspective it will be better trust. Call God,” Brown said.

Brown seems to be at peace with things right now which is great to see. He appeared to be in a bad spot over the last few months and was in need of help. Now, he is making strides to reconcile with those from his past, including former teammates like Ben Roethlisberger. For now, it remains to be seen if he’ll be able to keep this up and get back in the league.

Odell Beckham Jr is one of the flashiest wide receivers in the entire NFL and he is always in the news for his comments and the way he plays the game. Last season, the Cleveland Browns had a lot of expectations with OBJ on the roster although, in the end, the team finished 6-10 and fell outside of a playoff spot. The team recently fired head coach Freddie Kitchens and replaced him with former Vikings coordinator Kevin Stefanski.

In a recent interview with Zach Frydenlund of Complex Sports, Beckham spoke about his brand new head coach and the respect he has for him. Stefanski has a great reputation when it comes to working with offenses and OBJ is understandably excited to start working with him.

“With the new coach coming in, just seeing what he did with the Minnesota Vikings for a long time with [Adam] Thielen and [Stefon] Diggs,’’ Beckham said. “These are people who I’ve watched closely on their film, and just seeing the things that he did and meeting him and seeing where his mind’s at for Jarvis [Landry] and myself of how this will all work out, I have a good feeling about it, you know?’’

It remains to be seen whether or not the Browns will improve this upcoming season although the future is certainly bright. If quarterback Baker Mayfield makes fewer mistakes and improves his accuracy, the Browns could definitely be a threat in the AFC.
