Antonio Brown, erstwhile Steeler, Raider and Patriot, could be on the verge of finding a new employer, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Free-agent WR Antonio Brown is in New Orleans this morning, working out for the Saints, per source. Saints are doing their due diligence.

The Saints, who could finish as either the No. 1 or No. 3 seed in the NFC based on how Sunday plays out, won't be calling on Brown for the Week 17 meeting with the Panthers.
NFL has not concluded its investigation of Antonio Brown; uncertain when it will. Even after it wraps, Brown still could face additional discipline. Saints bringing in Brown for due diligence, not Sunday’s game vs. Panthers. But Saints take big WR swings; see Dez Bryant last year

In the wake of the workout, Brown's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, who was with the veteran at the Saints facility, commented on his client's job interview.
"Antonio had a very good visit today and we will continue our discussions with the Saints."
About two hours before Schefter's report, Brown tweeted the following:
BOOMIN
