Brown is facing a federal lawsuit from a former trainer of his that claims he sexually assaulted her.

Another woman has come forward recently claiming Brown assaulted her.

The Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office has said an investigation into the first allegation is unlikely due to the statute of limitations.
Sports Illustrated reported that Brown sent the second woman intimidating text messages.
Nike dropped any affiliation with Brown this week. 
According to Brown's agent Drew Rosenhaus, AB isn't done yet in the NFL.

It's unfortunate things didn't work out with the Patriots. But Antonio is healthy and is looking forward to his next opportunity in the NFL. He wants to play the game he loves and he hopes to play for another team soon.
