At least Antonio Brown’s stint with the Patriots lasted longer than Bill Belichick’s tenure as the HC of the NYJ.

But not by much.

The star-crossed wide receiver was released Friday afternoon by the Patriots, ending the defending Super Bowl champions’ controversial stretch with Brown after just one game and making him a free agent for the second time in as many weeks.

He figures to remain without a job a lot longer this time, as the NFL investigates claims of sexual assault and sexual harassment, and after two teams — the Patriots and Raiders — decided his talent doesn’t override the problems he creates.

Three days after he joined the Patriots, a civil suit was filed against Brown alleging three instances of sexual assault, including rape in 2018. The accuser, Britney Taylor, was interviewed by NFL investigators for 10 hours on Monday. And this week in an interview with Sports Illustrated, a woman accused Brown of sexual harassment and said Thursday he sent her threatening texts in response to the story.

“The New England Patriots are releasing Antonio Brown,” the team said in a statement. “We appreciate the hard work of many people over the past 11 days, but we feel that it is best to move in a different direction at this time.”

Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, also released a statement on Twitter

“It’s unfortunate things didn’t work out with the Patriots,” Rosenhaus wrote. “But Antonio is healthy and is looking forward to his next opportunity in the NFL. He wants to play the game he loves and he hopes to play for another team soon.”

The NFL announced Thursday it would continue to investigate the allegations and that placing Brown on the commissioner’s exempt list while he’s a free agent would not be “appropriate.”

Brown has already lost $29.125 million in guaranteed money from the Raiders — the result of conduct detrimental to the team that led to his demand for a release — and now, according to reports, he could be losing the $9 million signing bonus that was part of his one-year deal with the Patriots.

Pro Football Talk reported Brown has yet to receive the signing bonus and the contract stipulates he was to receive it by Monday. But the Patriots could opt not to pay it, based on Brown and his representatives not disclosing the looming lawsuit. It was reported the Patriots did not know about the allegations at the time they signed Brown. His base salary is reportedly $1.025 million guaranteed, and he has received two game checks of $62,500. The Patriots could take a similar tack with the base salary as with the signing bonus.

In his one game as a Patriot, Brown caught four passes on eight targets for 56 yards and scored a touchdown Sunday in a 43-0 rout of the Dolphins. The Jets were preparing to face Brown and the Patriots this Sunday, but now won’t have to deal with the game-breaking playmaker. The Patriots were fine without him in their season-opening, 33-3 blowout of the Steelers, his first NFL team.

Before Brown came to the Patriots and faced these sexual assault allegations, he was already creating headlines. After nine years with the Steelers and four Pro Bowls, Brown demanded a trade and was dealt to the Raiders in March for third- and fifth-round picks. He didn’t fit in with Oakland, either, spending time on the non-football injury list with frostbite on his feet from cryotherapy, feuding with the NFL over its helmet restrictions, missing practices, clashing with Raiders general manager Mike Mayock and releasing a video in which he aired recorded conversations with coach Jon Gruden.

Eventually, the Raiders had enough and cut bait, only for the Patriots to sign him that same day.

Now Brown is free to sign with any team in the league again — if anyone wants him and the headaches he causes.
