The New England Patriots were reportedly unaware that Antonio Brown was facing sexual assault and rape accusations when the team signed him last week, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
One possibility for Brown mentioned by Schefter is that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell could place Brown on the commissioner’s exempt list while the league investigates the allegations. Such a move would give Brown his salary, but take him off the team’s active roster and forbid him from playing in games and practices.
The Patriots agreed to terms with Brown on a one-year, $15 million deal last week after an hours-long free agency. Brown had previously forced his way out of the Raiders organization with an entire month of unhinged behavior, culminating in the team granting his request to be released.
