BOSTON — Anyone who followed the career of Antonio Brown knows that the wide receiver is not like others in the NFL — in both talent on the field and his personality off it. So it should really come as no surprise that Brown appears to have announced his retirement on Monday — on Twitter.

Brown has been trying to land on a team since his brief stay in New England ended after just one game last season, but the veteran pass-catcher has found no suitors. His off-the-field antics have led to a brighter spotlight on his off-the-field issues, scaring away most teams.

With no team and training camp just about to start for the 2020 season, Brown appears to have hung up his cleats. In a series of three tweets on Monday, Brown said that he’s done playing football and that the time has come to walk away from the game.
