An attorney for former NFL star Antonio Brown has said he plans to accept a plea deal that would avoid prison time for an attempted murder charge in Miami. The attorney, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, shared this information on Wednesday. Brown is set to appear in court next Wednesday to finalize the agreement. If convicted of the current charge, Brown could face up to 30 years in prison.
The incident dates back to May 16, 2025, when Brown allegedly took a handgun from a security staff member after a celebrity boxing match in Miami. He then fired two shots at a man he had previously fought with in a physical altercation, according to an arrest warrant. Nantambu told investigators that one of the bullets grazed Brown’s neck. The case has drawn attention due to Brown’s high-profile status in sports and the potential severity of the charges.
Antonio Brown spent 12 years in the NFL and was a standout wide receiver, earning All-Pro honors during his career. He last played in 2021 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he was part of a Super Bowl-winning team led by quarterback Tom Brady. Much of his professional career was spent with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he became known for his speed and ability to make big plays.
Throughout his NFL career, Brown accumulated 928 receptions for over 12,000 yards and scored 88 total touchdowns, including those from punt returns and one pass reception. His career has been marked by both on-field success and off-field controversies, making this legal case another significant chapter in his public life.
