Don’t expect the Houston Texans to sign Antonio Brown anytime soon
If there is one team that will not sign Antonio Brown that he has yet to play for in the NFL, it will be the Houston Texans.
There is no reason now for the Houston Texans to ever sign the embattled wide receiver Antonio Brown, who has not only been traded by the Pittsburgh Steelers and cut by the Oakland Raiders this season, but now he’s been released by the New England Patriots for all of his alleged off-the-field actions.
Now this … if the Patriots can’t come to terms to keeping Brown for more than 11 days, there is no way the Texans do that as they’ve been said to want to run their franchise like the Patriots, and if they don’t want Brown, the Texans won’t either.

On Friday, Adam Schefter wrote this on Twitter about Brown’s release as he spent 11 days on the Patriots roster, only playing in one game in 2019:
NFL now can conduct its investigation of Antonio Brown without any time pressure. It's hard to imagine another team would attempt to get in the way of that. So Brown's NFL career is on pause and possibly could even be over.

Brown’s agent Drew Rosenhaus wrote the following information about Brown’s release and how he’s looking forward to another NFL opportunity:
It's unfortunate things didn't work out with the Patriots. 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.

Jay Glazer went on Twitter and said the he doesn’t see any team interested in Brown any time soon.
There were only a couple teams who showed interest in Antonio Brown before he signed with Pats, that list will probably be whittled down to zero for the foreseeable future

Samuel Chamberlain of Fox News wrote the following about Brown being released and all of his off-the-field issues:
"“Since Brown was placed on New England’s active roster Sept. 9, two women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against him.”"
Brown’s play on the field for the Patriots in Week 2 saw him finish with four receptions for 56 yards and one touchdown, including a 20-yard reception. Brown is an excellent player, there is no doubt about that, but his off-the-field issues, an NFL investigation, and all of the circus that Brown brings with him is too much to overlook now.
Talent will only get a player so much in the NFL, but they have to also have somewhat of a productive lifestyle off the field, so if the Texans were ever to sign him, it would now be a huge surprise as all of the off-the-field issues have jumped to the forefront.

Houston would be smart to stay as far away from Brown as they could, and in this instance they have thus far made the right decision.
