Antonio Brown Retired From The NFL On Twitter After Previously Retiring From The NFL On Twitter

There have been a lot of rumors that swirled around Antonio Brown’s possible return to the NFL. He was at one point attached to Tom Brady and the Buccaneers before Bruce Arians shot that down.

Antonio Brown retired from the NFL, announcing his plans via Twitter, which marks the second time he retired from the NFL on Twitter.

This Twitter retirement follows Brown’s last declaration of retirement after the Patriots released him last fall:
