Fourth she claims to have saved texts from him where he talks about the assault.

Belly-Check said that AB will practice today and then walked out of his briefing early because of all of the Brown questions. Boy you bought yourself a headache this time Bill.
At her earliest convienence...ya know...after her wedding..priorities I guess.

I know via the CBA that Goodell has the right to do it, but AB has his own specifics. It seems to be a classic he-said / she-said. With a lot of reasonable doubt I think it's tough for the Commish to put him on the Exemption list.
ETA: If it ends up just being a money grab the NFL looks bad for "guilty until proven innocent". Its a no-win situation for them.

Apparently Brown and accuser were in confidential settlement talks until the lawsuit was filed...that makes me believe there’s something there.
I understand, and don't completely disagree, but with accusations like this, erroring on the side of caution seems like a reasonable and prudent thing to do. He still gets paid, he just can't be out there until they sort some of it out.
Dunno, just seems like they have used it in lesser cases. Guess we will see how it plays out.
Rape occurred on the third visit, not before. The first two she walked away from him, he came back to her later after apologizing, and then she was willing to try again. Not smart but I don't think you can expect he would rape you.
Apparently the sponsorship deal with the people he had for his new helmet is now over. Xenth I think

Antonio Brown's stepfather claims Patriots WR is 'very abusive to women'
Antonio Brown's stepfather had some eye-opening remarks about the New England Patriots wide receiver on Friday.
I actually think the way the Pat's use him today will tell you a lot about what they think about the suit. If he is used early and often to try to get him involved, you have someone they feel will be around and is worth trying to get integrated asap. If they use him primarily in mop up duty or he sees minimal targets and usage, this is a sign to me they are very worried about relying too much on the troubled WR.
- According to ESPN's Jeff Darlington, Antonio Brown began settlement talks with Britney Taylor in April including mediation in May, but ultimately chose not to sign an agreement that would have paid his accuser over $2 million.
The deadline for a settlement was last Sunday at 10 PM. When Brown declined the terms, Taylor filed a civil suit in Florida, seeking damages for three incidents of alleged sexual assault. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday, a day after Brown's Patriots contact became official. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport previously reported that New England was unaware of any settlement talks between Brown and his accuser while adding that owner Robert Kraft wouldn't have signed off on his deal had he known AB was facing such allegations. The controversial receiver will make his Patriots debut Sunday against Miami.

At best his is a diva, worst he is a sexual predator. I don't like the guy, think he exemplifies the worst about the NFL and social culture. That being said, I think he is owed, like everyone else, a chance to defend himself from such serious accusations. He should be able to play until there is proof of his guilt. He asn't arrested or charged with anything. At this point, it's a civil case.

I still hope he gets charged for wiretapping laws in CA, he had no legal right to post his private conversation with Gruden online.
