It appears that the seven-time Pro Bowl wideout Antonio Brown is retiring from football…Again.

Brown went on social media on Monday and, in a series of tweets, hinted that his professional career is over. The 32-year-old player first asked “is it time to walk away” while adding that he’s done “everything in the game.”

In the following post, Brown wrote that “the risk is greater than the reward” and proceeded to thank “everyone who been part of this journey.”

This isn’t the first time that Antonio Brown retired or hinted at ending his career. During the 2019 offseason, Brown threatened to retire if NFL doesn’t allow him to wear his preferred helmet. Then, he announced his retirement after being released by the New England Patriots in September before changing his mind shortly after.

Brown hasn’t been able to land a job since then, with the majority of NFL teams staying away due to his off-the-field issues. Reportedly, Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were interested recently, but neither team made a move.

Brown played only one game in 2019, making an appearance in Week 2 with Pats and catching four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown.
