Despite his shirtless meltdown in New Jersey on Sunday, wide receiver Antonio Brown's pro football career might not be over yet, one NFL reporter claimed Tuesday.
"If Antonio Brown wants a job on another team in the NFL, he can have one. That is not an opinion. That is what I know," Josina Anderson wrote on Twitter.
Brown left MetLife Stadium during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' game against the New York Jets, throwing some of his gear into the stands and giving his fans a peace sign before jetting to the tunnel and never returning.
