Antonio Brown Retires From NFL, Plans to Continue Playing Football

Antonio Brown has announced his retirement from the NFL and is now taking on the role of team owner. He recently purchased the National Arena League’s Albany Empire, a team his father, Eddie Brown, used to play for (then known as the Firebirds). Brown expressed his excitement in a tweet, saying that he was looking forward to giving back to the community and being part of something bigger than himself. He also shared a throwback photo of himself with the team’s former mascot, noting that Albany, NY was a special place for him and his family. Eddie Brown will be joining Antonio’s new team as vice president of football operations. However, Brown’s leadership was off to a rocky start when he showed up late and had his face obscured by a trophy during the March 2 ownership press conference.
