Looks in great shape and ready to play. I guess he’ll join the Pats next year now.
I feel like that article strongly hinted at him being bipolar without flat out saying it.Reading the ESPN AB article made me think about my cousins that suffered from manic-depression (or whatever the DSM V calls it now). It appears he may need medication which can control any chemical imbalance in the brain, I just don't know how the side effects will affect his level of play. In any event, this is no laughing matter if true.

Inside Antonio Brown's lost season: How he got here and what's next
Agree. Story just reminded me of my cousins, described them to a T. The quote from his teammate friend was telling, "he's a little different" followed by "I don't want to go there." You are so correct, people are afraid of speaking up when it comes to mental illness. You'd think the team would have done something unless they didn't for selfish reasons (if true).Something I've noticed is that people will downplay a lot of glaring character issues that point towards some sort of mental illness, if they believe diagnosing and treating that illness may stop some sort of money flow.
Bipolar medications are pretty strong, in that they're going to manage your mood. If Brown finds himself in manic episodes often, treatment may resort to drugs like Lithium, which really mellow you out.
I really have no idea what Brown's deal is, I'm not a psychiatrist, and I don't know him personally. I'm merely stating that in that were the case, I hope hope hope there would be someone in his support network who can look beyond the money, beyond the fame, and help him out.
He's done some ridiculous ****. Maybe to some, he doesn't deserve help. But if he is suffering from a mental illness, there is a high level of complacency that is enabling that behavior.
Or the guy could just be straight-up, craven ****head. Whatever. I dunno.
Antonio Brown to Saints?
Actually NVM, it looks like it's just a workout....but the Saints would be unreal with Brown and Thomas....
If they are working him out and considering signing him, it’s probably because they have word from someone in the NFL behind the scenes that he either won’t be suspended, or will only be suspended one week. You put him in that offense opposite Michael Thomas and that’s nighty night for the NFC.There's no love lost between the Saints and Goodell. I hope they sign him to force his hand.
