After a tumultuous year for the embattled wide receiver, Brown  landed with 3 NFL team in less than a year. He played 9-seasons with the Steelers, 6-months for the Raiders (off season only) and 1-game with the Patriots and was released shortly after allegations of sexual assault were made public.

Saints’ head coach Sean Payton addressed the media Friday afternoon confirming that Brown will not be joining the team.
