Antonio Brown
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ wide receiver Antonio Brown seems to like getting into a controversy or in the bad-books of NFL Fans. After already trying to get a piece of (former teammate) Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s marital issues, it seems like the 34-year-old is back at it again.
Having already told the fans to recall him as a ‘rockstar’ than a football player, Antonio Brown went onto showcase his paycheck from his first-hand experience in music industry. And he did so, by boasting about it on social media in front of thousands of fans, who didn’t seem to take it well at any point.
That being said, the amount displayed by Antonio Brown is surely low considering that he was always amongst the highest earning players in the modern-era (during his time in the NFL). However, the change to music industry is nothing but his own call, especially after the way he scripted his own suspension in Week 17 of the 2021 season.
To those who are not aware, back in his days of ‘glory’ – Pittsburgh Steelers whipped up a contract for him. The 34-year-old received a new 4-year contract worth over $68 Million from the same team. This came after Brown complained for a couple of years of about his compensation. As a result of which, Antonio Brown became the highest-paid receiver in the league because of the $19 million signing bonus contained in the contract. However, not even dared to questioned it after knowing that this WR accumulated 6,300 yards and 53 touchdowns over the previous four seasons. So, he rightfully deserved every penny off it.
That being said, those were the days when football fans used to cherish the antics of Antonio Brown. Now, it has only been about getting kicked out of a pool in Dubai, trying to get his hands dirty in Brady – Gisele’s divorce fiasco, or perhaps his most recent lawsuit of selling fake watches for mammoth prices.
