- Comment SB Nation is a blog site, but that's a pretty hefty fine so I'm sure there are more reliable sources out there covering this. Lizard (talk) 22:50, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- ABC News, CBS Sports. I'm currently on mobile though away from home so I don't have time to put it into the article. Lizard (talk) 22:53, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- Additional comment: I would agree to both sources, and the one from sports nation as well. If someone approves of this, it just might silently accept this edit request and put all three references in while updating the article. The fine sure looks hefty for dancing in celebration. 50.29.199.144 (talk) 01:30, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Antonio brown personal life
Brown has fathered five children with multiple women.[1] After reviewing the source, I don’t think this information is credible. It is diminishing to Brown’s career, and I don’t think we should include it unless it’s confirmed by Brown, or it is supported by something other than a rant on Instagram by some person. Let me know! Apoorv Chauhan (talk) 02:47, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
- This information is credible. USA Today is not the only source available. Brown has confirmed that he has five children with three mothers. Please stop deleting relevant and accurate information. If you want to correct something, then please correct it and cite your sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiHogan654 (talk • contribs) 05:01, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
In the source provided, it blatantly based its claims off of the Instagram post I mentioned earlier, which is why I questioned the credibility of your source. Furthermore, it is your responsibility to find accurate sources about your edits. I still researched this, and I did find this[2] to be the most credible. I see this has already been cited by someone else in the article. Just make sure to provide accurate sources. Thanks! Apoorv Chauhan (talk) 21:33, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Failed Buffalo trade
Should info about the failed Buffalo trade be added to the article? Jusgtr (talk) 04:17, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

"2018 Season" paragraph needs tightening up
It reads .. "In Week 13, on NBC Sunday Night Football, he had 10 receptions for 154 yards and a touchdown in the 33–30 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on NBC Sunday Night Football." Did anyone happen to mention that this performance was on NBC Sunday Night Football? I thought so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.160.228.101 (talk) 13:46, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
It also reads .. "Overall, Brown finished the 2018 season with 168 receptions for 1,297 and a career-high 15 touchdowns." I think 168 may be just a tad bit off-scale high. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.160.228.101 (talk) 13:56, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Regarding the asterisk
Per Template:Infobox NFL biography and Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League I've seen no information stating that a player has to play a game to not be denoted as an offseason-only member of the team. In addition to that, I've seen dozens of examples over the years of players who have had short stints with teams during the regular season not playing a game but are still considered to be regular season players. Furthermore, the key at the bottom says nothing of playing a game, purely that the player is either practice squad or offseason-only.
Hitpoint0213 (talk) 18:42, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Hitpoint0213: All of your points are correct, except for the timing you stated in an edit summary. The issue here is that he is not considered a member of the Raiders' week 1 roster since their game had not been played at the time of his official release. It doesn't matter that the league's week 1 began on Thursday, it's about when the Raiders' week 1 began. The Raiders' roster was not "locked" for week 1 until 4:01PM Monday, and he was released at 4:00PM EST Saturday. Had the Raiders played on Sunday, their rosters would have "locked" at 4:01PM Saturday. His NFL.com stat page will reflect this as well, as he will not have a game log record for week 1 for either the Raiders or Patriots. Eagles 24/7 (C) 13:04, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Notability of Dr. Victor Prisk event
"That same day, Pittsburgh-based Dr. Victor Prisk, who worked with Brown during his time with the Steelers, alleged that Brown passed gas numerous times in his vicinity, including directly in his face"
The above line is gossip like and does not seem notable, the point of this portion of the article it is linking to his talking about shady business dealings and unpaid fees, the farting thing is a throw-away sentence, it is longer in the wikipedia article then it is in the original article and not a notable event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.110.218.200 (talk • contribs)

- @Bears247: Good catch, I fixed the infobox. The "currently is a free agent" bit that appears in a lot of other articles isn't necessarily required, some editors prefer to use it and others don't. The reason not to include it is per WP:PRECISELANG, and since another editor has argued against including it here I won't change it back. Eagles 24/7 (C) 01:37, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
Retirement
User:Rockchalk717 - I've reverted your removal of information. I understand that AB has made comments in the past and walked them back, but the information is a direct quote from AB (and it is referenced) - so "speculation" is not in play here. If others feel that we should remove it then I'll abide by consensus, but given that it's been 2 years since he even played - I think "retirement" is an acceptable declaration. If he "un-retires", it can also be added in the future. Saying that he will return because he has in the past - now THAT is speculation. I'm not saying it can't happen, but we can address it the same way we've documented the Brett Farve article. — Ched (talk) 00:31, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Ched: He never used the word “retire” in his tweets, so to act like his “retirement” is a direct quote is a stretch. I’ll go ahead and leave it alone for now because you do bring up a good point about it being speculation that he may come back because he’s done this before.--Rockchalk717 01:16, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- User:Rockchalk717 - you make some good points too. At the end of the day it's not an article I'm going to argue about. I'll tweak it a bit, and if it gets deleted again I'll just leave it as is. I appreciate you working on the article - Thank You. — Ched (talk) 05:05, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

AP says Brown is off Tampa Bay - that should be good enough for Wikipedia:
"EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Antonio Brown was apparently frustrated and angry. So he walked away.
From the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And possibly his NFL career.
The mercurial wide receiver was kicked off the Buccaneers after a bizarre, shirtless exit from the field before Tom Brady coolly led the Bucs on a 93-yard drive in the final minutes for a 28-24 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday.
Coach Bruce Arians said after the game Brown was off the team.
“He is no longer a Buc,” Arians said. “All right? That’s the end of the story. Let’s talk about the guys who went out there and won the game.” Micromis (talk) 03:57, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Antonio Brown is no longer a Buccaneer
Antonio Brown was cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after refusing to enter the game against the Jets in week 17 of the 2021 regular season. Coach Bruce Arians told him to leave after refusing to enter twice. He then took off his jersey and helmet, threw them against the stand, balled up his shirt, threw it into the stands, and left the game. 2603:9000:8A02:A34D:914E:B953:9031:E812 (talk) 06:21, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

The following does not flow well "During the Buccaneers 28–24 win over the New York Jets, Brown took his jersey, shoulder pads, glove, and shirt off and ran off the field into the locker room during the third quarter with the Buccaneers down 10–24 in the third quarter." The language should be modified in the 2021 subsection to reflect the detailed series of events as described below:
During the third quarter with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers trailing the New York Jets 10 - 24, Antonio Brown began to act erraticly on the sideline while teammate Mike Evans attempted to deescalate the situation. Brown became even more outlandish and began removing his football jersey, pads, gloves and additional gear and toss it into the staduum stands. Brown then waved good-bye to the fans as he headed towards the locker room. Postgame media covereage discovered that Brown and Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians were in disagreement about Brown reentering the game as Brown was indicating his ankle was sore (Brown had sprained the ankle the past week). Upon Arians indicating Brown should sit the rest of the game out is when Brown began his outburst. [1]
- I changed the sentence structure to move “third quarter” to a more logical place, but some of the other changes aren’t appropriate. Neutrality is one of the central goals of the encyclopedia, so rather than describing behavior as erratic or outlandish, we just give a factual account of the behavior according to the cited sources.

- There is already published info from Coach Arians that conflicts with the info described above...from an ESPN Story (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32986335/tampa-bay-buccaneers-coach-bruce-arians-no-regrets-adding-antonio-brown-says-cares-wr): "...Arians said he did not speak to Brown after he left the field -- only before leaving it. He would not disclose the details of that interaction, only that the conversation at no point involved Brown's injured ankle." Toastt21 (Talk) 19:55, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
AB’s Free Agent Status 2022
Should his status change to free agent because of his release confirmed by coach Bruce Arians? 65.36.113.232 (talk) 18:14, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- Not until the team says he's released. As of now, the NFL and the team both maintain he's part of the team. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:21, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- still not listed as released https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/transactions/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.221.143.58 (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
You think the head injury changed everything?
May I suggest that I'm not the only person on the internet to have noticed a causation between that hit in the Wild Card game, and Brown's erratic behavior since then. Is that something that should be considered when mentioning on this page what's become of his life, or is that purely conjecture and possibly harmful conjecture at that? ekedolphin (talk) 23:19, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- It really doesn't matter what we think. Like other matters on Wikipedia, the key question is "What do the reliable sources say?" Larry Hockett (Talk) 23:42, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Fox News Attempts to Muddy the Waters
Antonio Brown still with Bucs despite assertions to the contrary
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/antonio-brown-with-bucs-despite-assertions-contrary
Fox News trying to imply that the Buccaneers may end up keeping Brown, which is ridiculous, simply because they have not gone through the complex process of cutting him/waiving him just yet.. this was the number three headline on their mobile app.. felt this was worth noting because there was earlier mention about the wording of the article here in talk that Brown indeed had/has not been removed from the team.

Technically Toastt21, right now he is still a member, who is essentially not allowed to play, much like what is going on with Deshaun Watson. BigRed606 (talk) 23:41, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Why does the lede say he was only "a part of the team that won Super Bowl LV"?
That kind of language is typically reserved for players who were on a team that won a Super Bowl but didn't contribute much to it, such as backup quarterbacks. Brown caught five passes and scored a touchdown in the game.
- Charles Woodson "won a Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XLV."
- DeMarcus Ware "played three seasons for the Denver Broncos, with whom he won Super Bowl 50 over the Carolina Panthers."
- LeSean McCoy finished "his career with one season stints with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019 and 2020 respectively, winning a Super Bowl each season," despite not taking a snap in either game.
On the other hand,
- Blaine Gabbert "was on the Buccaneers' roster as a backup quarterback when they won Super Bowl LV."
- Brian Hoyer "was part of the team that won a Super Bowl title in Super Bowl LIII."
- David Carr "received a Super Bowl ring as a backup for the Giants after their victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI."
Why is Brown getting the backup quarterback treatment? The sentence should read "he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with whom he won Super Bowl LV," or something similar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Somarain (talk • contribs) 05:54, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Year of release
He was released from the Bucs on January 6, 2022. So it should say he was on the Bucs from 2020 to 2022 97.101.60.255 (talk) 04:50, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- I think the infobox refers to NFL seasons and not years. So the 2021 NFL season is 2021 & 2022. Idan (username is Zvikorn) (talk) 07:11, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
