Antonio Brown has had mixed feelings about the NFL and certain individuals throughout this season.

He went back and forth between wanting to be in the NFL and saying that he’d never return. Brown was extremely excited about joining the Oakland Raiders, until he posted his excitement about leaving the Raiders. He bashed Robert Kraft on Twitter after getting cut by the New England Patriots, and now he’s apologizing.

Brown sent an apology on Tuesday morning to Kraft and the organization.

Mr. Kraft I apologize sincerely to you and your organization! All I wanted to be was an asset to the organization; sorry for the bad media and drama! Thank you sincerely AB

Although the Patriots desperately need some offensive firepower this season, it’s still very unlikely that they reconsider and sign Brown. He isn’t expected to play again this season, because the NFL would likely put him on the commissioner’s exempt list if a team signed him.

Brown played one game with the Patriots and recorded four catches for 56 yards and a touchdown.

Report: Amazon’s Jeff Bezos could be interested in buying Seahawks

Although the Seattle Seahawks are not for sale, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has expressed interest in someday owning the team.

The Seattle Seahawks are not for sale, and there’s no indication they will be for sale anytime soon, but — if they were — Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos could be interested in purchasing the team, according to the Washington Post (which Bezos owns).

The Seahawks have an estimated value of about $2.8 billion, which is chump change to Bezos and his $109 billion net worth, according to Bloomberg.

It not only would be easy for Bezos to afford buying the Seahawks, but he has the support of many other NFL owners who would love to see him get involved.

“I’m sure that eventually it would be in everyone’s best interests if someone that’s as community-oriented as him gets involved in the Seattle situation,” New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said in the Post piece.

“The Seattle situation,” as Kraft put it, is currently owned by the estate of Paul Allen and run by Allen’s sister, Jody. Allen died last year of complications stemming from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Jody Allen has made no indication that she plans to sell the team, and while she has not been in the public eye much since taking over, she has the support of both Pete Carroll (who signed a contract extension through 2021) and general manager John Schneider.

What this means for Seattle’s future is unclear, but it certainly seems plausible that Bezos, who attended the Super Bowl last year and posed for pictures with Shaquill and Shaquem Griffin, would be a strong candidate to own the team if the Allen estate decided to sell.
