Antonio Brown is back in the news. The former NFL star is now accused of stealing thousands of dollars worth of jewelry in Dubai, according to a report.

FOX Sports 640’s Andy Slater reported Brown is accused of stealing $122,000 worth of jewelry and having the Dubai jeweler falsely jailed, citing a lawsuit he obtained. It’s yet another incident involving the embattled former Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver.

Brown hasn’t played in the NFL since his public departure from the Buccaneers last season, although he has expressed interest in a return to the league. One team he brought up was the Dallas Cowboys, but it’s unclear if there’s mutual interest in such a venture.

“Tell Jerry Jones to call me!” Brown said in a video obtained by TMZ.

More on Antonio Brown

The last time we saw Brown in uniform, he would take it off — literally — in the middle of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ road game against the New York Jets before parading around the sidelines. The incident forced the hand of the Bucs’ brass and the two parties would go their separate ways following the game.

In seven games last season, Brown caught 42 passes for 545 yards and four touchdowns. He was a shell of his former self after he strung together six 1,000-plus yard receiving seasons from 2013-18. Since leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers, Brown made a pit stop in New England for a one-game stint with the Patriots before settling down in Tampa for the past two seasons.

Since the incident, Brown has contemplated his retirement from the NFL, joining various teams, claimed he was interested in buying a NFL franchise and hilariously revealing his career’s biggest regret.
