"My understanding is Brown is eager to present
his side & that there r teams still interested in signing him
pending the resolution of the league's investigation," ESPN
reporter Josina Anderson tweeted on Thursday morning.
Hours later, Brown took to social media to vent his frustration
with the league.
"Imagine conforming to a system giving it a 100 percent to see
them treat me like this is unfairly!" Brown wrote on Twitter.
"Making money off my sweat and blood (expletive) the @nfl I'll
never play in that (expletive) treat black people the worse!
Clear my name and go (expletive) your self."
Brown later deleted the tweet and posted a new one, writing,
"I'm just very frustrated right now with the false allegations
and slander to my name. I love football and I miss it. I just
want to play and I'm very emotional about that. I'm determined
to make my way back to the NFL asap."
Brown, 31, initially tweeted on Sept. 22 that he "will not be
playing in the NFL anymore."
That tweet came two days after the New England Patriots released
him.
The NFL released a statement on Sept. 20 that said Brown would
not be placed on the commissioner's exempt list while he is a
free agent but warned, "If he is signed by a club, such
placement may become appropriate at any time depending on the
status of the investigation."
Brown was cut by the Oakland Raiders on Sept. 7 and then signed
with the Patriots. He played in one game, catching four passes
for 56 yards and a touchdown in New England's 43-0 win at Miami
on Sept. 15.
The four-time All-Pro has been under investigation by the NFL
under its personal conduct policy since former trainer Britney
Taylor filed a lawsuit in September alleging that she was
sexually assaulted on multiple occasions.
In 10 NFL seasons (the first nine with the Pittsburgh Steelers),
Brown has 841 catches for 11,263 yards and 75 touchdowns.
