Antonio Brown is becoming Morris the Cat with his nine lives. And, he’s at it again making statements regarding ankle surgery, wanting to be paid like the best NFL wide receivers, and money girlfriends owe him…
Sign Me, Then I’ll Fix My Ankle
Antonio Brown has said for awhile now that he needs surgery on his ankle to perform at a top level. One would think he would get that done in the offseason, then shout from the mountaintops he feels better than ever. Repair the racecar first, then try to sell it, right?
However, when has @AB84 ever played it straight? This time, he straight flipped that timeline upside down in saying he plans to fix his bum ankle AFTER a team commits to him.

I Can Still Put Up Big Numbers
No one has ever doubted Antonio Brown’s talent. His ability to run precise routes led to huge seasons on the field. In fact, from 2013-2018 Brown never dipped under 100 receptions, 1200 yds, nor eight touchdowns with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has even been a top fantasy football producer for almost everyone at one time or another. We’ve all drafted him.

But, being attractive to an NFL team as a top receiving option is more than putting up numbers in 2022. You also can’t be an off-field lightning rod, and you also can’t just up and quit on your team in the middle of what can only be described as a childish temper tantrum.
NFL teams don’t tend to forget things like this.

Pay Me My Money!
Antonio Brown is not afraid to call people out, either. He has a social media presence, as we all know, and he will turn to it when he feels like he’s the victim. Recently, he threatened to “expose” Cydney Christine if she didn’t return $5000 to him. He posted a snap of them in bed and included her portion of the conversation for the world to see.

After asking Brown not to expose her publicly, Antonio said, “Send me my money bitch. 5k or u be exposed.”
After the model allegedly responded that she would send the money through PayPal, Brown wrote, “Hoe u know stop playing with me bitch im a show u This time.”
Will an NFL Team Take A Chance On Antonio Brown?
That remains to be seen. But, AB84 took to Instagram and posted a photo of his top choice.

Will the Baltimore Ravens take that chance? Will they fix Antonio’s ankle for him? Will they pay him like a top wide receiver? Will they put up with a man willing to quit on his team? Will they pay gamble he won’t play the victim on social media, this time at their expense?
So many questions.
One thing is for sure. There is never a dull moment around one Antonio Brown.
