Former wide receiver\u00a0Antonio Brown\u00a0has announced his retirement from the\u00a0NFL\u00a0in what might be some remarkable trolling.<\/p>\n

Brown, who had one of the most impressive WR stints in the league, has revealed he is retiring as a member of the\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders\u00a0through his CTESPN Network platform on Twitter\/X.<\/p>\n

\u201cBREAKING NEWS #CTESPN, I am officially retiring today a Raider,<\/em>\u201d he wrote. \u201c6th Rd Pick, Super Bowl Champ, 2x NFL Receptions Leader, 2x NFL Receiving Yards Leader, 1x, NFL Receiving TDs Leader, 12,291 Receiving Yards, 83 Receiving TDs, 2,934 Return Yards \u2013 5 TDs<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext Chapter #CTESPN.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Retiring a raider is peculiar, given that he never played for the team and left as one of the most unfortunate signings in team history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here to elevate everything around me. I\u2019m here to just be a surge of energy, of positivity, and good force,<\/em>\u201d he said during his introductory press conference, \u201cA great teammate and to bring out the best of everyone around me cause we all know it\u2019s not just about me.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

He went on to do the exact opposite\u2026<\/p>\n

Brown missed most of the team\u2019s training camp practices due to a foot issue, then went to war over his helmet and threatened to retire if he was forced to wear a new helmet despite his old one being banned.<\/p>\n

He had an infamous bust-up with then-GM Mike Mayock, threatening to hit him and allegedly calling him a \u201ccracker\u201d in what was an ugly scene that required teammates to hold him back.<\/p>\n

Brown ultimately demanded a release from the team and was granted his wish hours before his contract became guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Antonio Brown Could Have Made Three Better Choices<\/h2>\n

Brown enjoyed the best spell of his career with the Steelers and won his only Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also had a spell with the\u00a0New England Patriots\u00a0before his move to the Bucs.<\/p>\n

Although he burned bridges everywhere, it would have made more sense if he retired with any of the other three teams he played for. Then again, he wouldn\u2019t be Antonio Brown if he did that, would he?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
