Antonio Brown’s Lawyer Withdraws From Civil Case Against Britney Taylor

If you were hoping for Antonio Brown to return to the NFL, or more importantly to being eligible to play in fantasy football, things are not looking very good. Brown is currently serving an eight-game NFL suspension, and still has some unresolved legal issues, as he hopes to get back in the NFL.

Brown was sued last year by Britney Taylor, who alleges that he sexually assaulted her. Brown has countersued Taylor for defamation and interference of his NFL opportunities.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, AB’s lawyer, Carson Hancock, withdrew from representing Brown in a civil lawsuit filed by Britney Taylor last year alleging she was sexually assaulted by Brown. Hancock cited “irreconcilable differences” with Brown as the basis for his withdrawing from serving Brown’s counsel.

One of free-agent WR Antonio Brown’s attorneys, Carson Hancock, withdrew tonight from the civil case filed by a woman who has accused Brown of rape and sexual assault – one day before a judge’s deadline for Brown to turn over text messages and other evidence.

Hancock — who also represented Brown in his felony burglary and assault/battery case — cited “irreconcilable differences” for his decision to withdraw from the civil case. The trial is set for December. Brown is serving an eight-game NFL suspension for two unrelated matters.

This doesn’t bode too well for AB.

The day before a trial is about to begin is not a good omen. If you have an extra roster spot and want to take a flyer on AB, don’t even waste your breath.
