The Patriots have moved on from the Antonio Brown saga, but the disgruntled receiver is still holding out hope.
In a live video that streamed Wednesday on Instagram, Brown suggested the team re-sign him.
“You guys that follow the Patriots, tell them to call me,” Brown said. “They’ve still got to pay me, so might as well let me earn it.”
Brown is referring to the grievances and appeals he filed last month, which total more than $61 million he believes he is owed from the Raiders and Patriots.
“The Patriots have to pay me,” Brown said. “They may as well play me.”
Brown, who initially was traded from the Steelers to the Raiders in March before being cut by Oakland, was released by New England just 11 days into his deal on Sept. 20 after he sent threatening text messages to the woman who accused him last month of sexual misconduct in 2017.
Brown has also been named in a civil lawsuit filed by Britney Taylor, his former trainer, in which she says Brown sexually assaulted her twice in 2017 and raped her in 2018.
Two days after his release by the Patriots, Brown tweeted he "will not be playing" in the NFL anymore and referenced the guaranteed money he's lost to this point from both the Patriots and Raiders. In a separate, since-deleted tweet, Brown likened his legal situation to Patriots owner Robert Kraft's misdemeanor charge of soliciting a prostitute last winter.
After Brown's Twitter tirade, an ESPN source said Kraft is "never writing that check, no matter what the ruling is now.”
According to Yahoo Sports, Brown's grievances could run deep into 2020. He's unlikely to play until its resolved.
