Another headline that should read, “Nothing to see here”. At least nothing yet. But let’s all start making rash judgements.
I really hope he didn't do anything. All we can do is wait for more information at this point.
Yet another reason that NFL teams absolutely need to employ and utilize mental health professionals. From the distanced perspective we can get through the media - all the warning signs are there of someone dealing with some issues.
Doesn't excuse things, but offers a bit of an explanation perhaps -- hard to tell from so far outside.
Maybe the worst Madden Curse of All-Time...

If a player is involved in DV and is guilty is does the team still have to pay out the money on the existing contract?
it's Mike Tomlin's fault...
I guess Ben will get blame for this from the so called experts as well.
It would depend on the language in the contract. I would imagine that if he were to be cut for something like this, they would still have to pay him most of his money, but I could be wrong.

Whether he did anything wrong or not the appearance is bad. Particularly when you combine it with everything else that's happened going back to the alleged furniture toss from the balcony. Even if he's innocent being in an unhinged relationship is going to damage potential return for the Steelers. Think of it, you're a potential suitor, at the very least this will make you reconsider what your top bid will be.
"A man's got to know his limitations."
I'm a believer in the Madden curse now smh.
Honestly though this guy is dealing with a mental illness. Get checked before your actions get worse.

Antonio Brown’s lawyer calls misconduct allegations “baseless and false”
Posted by Josh Alper on February 5, 2019
Antonio Brown‘s lawyer has responded to word that his client was involved, but not arrested, in a domestic dispute in Florida last month.
Hollywood, Florida police confirmed that they looked into an allegation of misconduct made against Brown before determining that he would not be arrested. Brown’s attorney Darren Heitner denied any wrongdoing by his client.
“The allegations are baseless and false,” Heitner said in a statement to ESPN. “It’s unfortunate that the media is trying to use distractions like this and prior stories in an effort to tarnish my client’s name and reputation. We have no further comment.”
Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten issued a statement to PFT on Tuesday.

Non-guaranteed contracts are exactly that, non-guaranteed. We could release him tomorrow for no reason whatsoever, and not have to pay him another dime.
What we cannot get out of, however, is the cap hit from all the bonus money and restructure money (same thing really) that we've already paid him. As soon as he's off the team for any reason, we eat all the remaining amount at once as dead money and there's nothing we can do to change that because it's money we already paid.
tl;dr version - it doesn't change a thing, and getting rid of him would still really suck from a cap perspective no matter how we did it.
See you Space Cowboy ...
Do they really need to pay a lawyer to make these kinds of statements? You could probably code an accusation-vehement-legal-denial bot in about 10 minutes and just copy/paste the text from here on out. Have a drop-down menu to select the crime, switch up the "baseless" with a "frivolous" or "meritless" every once in a while and you should be good to go.
edit: Actually, I've got a better idea, maybe I'll make another thread about that
See you Space Cowboy ...
Im thinking the police just cant find him because of the blonde mustache disguise...silly po-po.
They should just trade him, start over. Not like this team will be winning a Super Bowl anytime soon with Brown anyway
Now his value is going to be in the garbage...lol.
This is what happens when you hand millions to people with no social skills that have been told they were better than everyone else because they can catch a football.

Why use the language “mother of his child”? Why not say “Intruder at his door”?
his trade value is dropping like a rock ...
we are a drug arrest away from looking at a bag of used footballs and a kicking tee as compensation
- - - Updated - - -
guessing he told her to take the daughter for the hair apt and he would reimburse ...
time came to live up to the deal and he was stoned and didnt want bothered and pushed her down .....
either way he is a piece of shit in my book
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
Sounds like the baby mama has some fault. Trying to get into the residence uninvited.

That makes no difference. If she stepped inside his door to prevent him from closing(she is not a resident) after he told her to leave his property, he has some right to remove her. He didn’t strike her or shoot her. What’s the real problem here? Retell the story using any 2 other people.
I didn’t find the part where he was stoned.

When NFL Films prepares the A Football Life episode for AB, video of the blonde moustache interviews in Atlanta last week, AB in twitter wars with Clark & Sanders, and the TMZ domestic abuse headline will be a good lead in to the commercial break around the 40 minute mark to frame AB going through what the narrator will describe as “difficult times.” The allegations in the police report look sketchy even if you buy the woman’s version of events but AB is not in the best of positions to have the benefit of the doubt and is a magnet for these sorts of stories given his conduct over the past year - may not be “fair” but he has torched his reputation with his non-football actions.
Final segment after the commercial break will be either the usual story of redemption ending with Ben presenting AB for induction at Canton or something pretty grim. Based on how the last year has gone the unhappy ending is gaining traction.

Yep - Framing how the woman is identified gives away the game on what narrative is being shopped.
Depending if you go with “victim,” “mother of his child,” “intruder” or “baby mama” sets up nicely how the incident is defined after that.
Would be interesting to know if AB or his representative and the woman had any further discussions before she tried to withdraw the claim. That has been known to impede investigations involving other Steelers in the past.
