However, any possible return for Antonio Brown would have to first be cleared with the NFL.

Antonio Brown was earlier charged with multiple counts of sexual assault last year. The NFL is still in the process of coming to a conclusion with its investigation regarding the incident. Brown was then arrested in Hollywood, Florida earlier this year after the former Raiders wide receiver physically assaulted the driver of a moving company.
