— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 27, 2019If New Orleans does sign Brown, the Saints would be his 3rd team this season. He started out with the Raiders, but an issue with his helmet escalated and he eventfully demanded to be released and was obliged. He then joined the Patriots, and was let go after appearing in one game due to sexual assault allegations. A.B. has not played since week 2.

There is no denying that Brown is an elite talent, but brings a lot of baggage with him and he isn’t shy about sharing his business all over social media. The #1 fear is that he could be a negative impact on the Saints locker room, with the playoffs about to begin.
This could also be a sign that stud WR Michael Thomas’ hand injury could be something more serious than anticipated. Can’t Guard Mike got injured on his record breaking catch last week and has been limited in practice since.
