Just when you thought he was out, the NFL pulls him back in. Well, almost. Antonio Brown reportedly impressed the New Orleans Saints in the workout session earlier last week. While the former Patriots wide receiver currently finds himself out of a job, the Saints were willing to give Antonio Brown a look-in, in order to aid their NFL playoffs' charge. With the workout part done and dusted, all Antonio Brown had to wait was stay out of the limelight and await the Saints' decision.

Amid the constant attacks at JuJu Smith-Schuster, the fact that the two were former teammates remains a distant memory. Antonio Brown spent eight years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, with Juju Smith-Schuster joining him in his final two seasons with the Steelers. Brown was then traded to the Oakland Raiders in 2018. Considering that Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster formed previously formed one of the NFL's most dangerous receiving tandems, things have soured in rapid fashion between the two.
