NFL Trade Rumours: Antonio Brown to continue exile despite Patriots struggle vs Chiefs
NFL Trade Rumours: A move for former wide receiver Antonio Brown is unlikely to come to fruition for New England Patriots fans. Patriots fell to Chiefs 16-23
"Struggles and huddles" - if the New England Patriots were to release a documentary of their last couple of weeks in the NFL, this would be an apt title. The Patriots fell to their second consecutive loss in the NFL this season after the Kansas City Chiefs registered a 16-23 win over the Patriots on Sunday. Questions have now been raised regarding the offensive capabilities of the Patriots. In fact, Tom Brady was pictured yelling at his receivers during the Patriots' loss against the Houston Texans earlier last week.
NFL Trade Rumours: Antonio Brown comeback vetoed by Patriots
Considering their offensive struggles of late, the rumour mill has duly churned out rumours of a return for the former wide receiver, Antonio Brown. According to ESPN, however, the Patriots remain vehemently opposed to bringing back Antonio Brown despite their struggles in offence. Antonio Brown is currently being investigated by the NFL under its personal conduct policy after his former trainer Britney Taylor alleged that she was sexually assaulted by Brown on multiple occasions. Brown also was accused of sexual misconduct by an artist who was working at his home in 2017.
