Jason Licht Expects Antonio Brown Contract Signing On Monday

Concern has been raised recently about Antonio Brown’s contract after announcing his return several weeks ago. To this point, the contract has yet to be signed, and with the recent civil lawsuit and knee procedure, some have wondered whether it will ever get signed.

However, according to the Buccaneers’ general manager, it should happen Monday.

Joining the ‘Eye Test For Two’ podcast on Wednesday, Jason Licht quickly shot down the notion that this delay was cause for concern for Brown’s future with the Buccaneers.

“No, not concerned,” Licht told Ira Kaufman. “The plan all along is to have him come in… [I think] he’s coming in Monday to sign.”

All-in-all, Brown had 42 receptions for 483 yards and four touchdowns in eight regular-season games. He added eight receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns in four playoff games.
