The NFL has finally dropped the hammer on Antonio Brown.
On Friday afternoon, the NFL announced they had suspended the former Steelers wide receiver for eight games due to “multiple violations of the league’s personal conduct policy.”

Brown will be eligible to play on week 9 whether he gets signed or not and the NFL can add to the suspension if he continues to act up.
So AB is sidelined at least through Week 8, and potentially longer

As of now, it seems like the Ravens and the Seahawks may be interested but it’s currently unclear if any other teams will look into signing Brown now that they know how long he’s suspended for.
The #Ravens and #Seahawks remain the teams to watch, per @JeffDarlington.
