Antonio Brown asks Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to sign him

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown wants another shot at the NFL. He believes he can have a story unlike any other player in the league. In his 12-year career, Brown has played for three teams. Now, he wants another chance to play football with the Dallas Cowboys. The 33-year-old went on “The Pivot” podcast and talked with former NFL star Ryan Clark about his future.

The WR had quite an interesting response and specifically thought that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would be interested in bringing him onto the roster:

"“Maybe Jerry Jones thinks it looks sexy that I’m putting out all this motivation and all this hard work and encouragement. Maybe he want(s) to harness some of that energy.”"

We all know Jones has made several questionable decisions as the GM of the Cowboys. But signing Brown seems far from “sexy.” In terms of his career success, Brown is a 7x Pro Bowler, 4x All-Pro, and a Super Bowl champion. While he is certainly one of the most talented wide receivers in the recent era of football, his entire career has sadly been clouded by controversy. However, it seems the former Buc feels his hard work would still be worth it to certain teams. The quote from the interview is in the tweet below.

Jones is known for his rash decisions, but the issues surrounding Brown are likely too much for the Cowboys’ owner. Brown has had conflict within organizations, personal issues, and legal issues spring up throughout his time in the NFL. The 2021 season was particularly rocky for the receiver. He was suspended by the league for having a fake COVID vaccine card.

Then, he chose to essentially quit on the Bucs mid-game in a game against the New York Jets in Week 17. Brown didn’t just walk off the field. He took his jersey and equipment off and paraded shirtless in the endzone before exiting the turf.

Sadly, there are some people who may overlook these facts. With Amari Cooper headed to Cleveland, Michael Gallup still unsigned, and others in the wide receiver corps headed to free agency, Dallas surely has spots to fill at receiver. But is this the best route? Would Jones really take this big of a risk for his roster? The offseason is a wild time, but any team considering Brown has to know that there are huge risks that come with adding the receiver to its roster.
