Free agent WR Antonio Brown (Patriots) would have to serve an eight-game suspension for violations of the league’s personal-conduct policy if and when he does sign with a new team, a league source said Friday, July 31.

Footballguys View: This gives us some clarity in the situation. Brown has interest from teams out there, and perhaps a team like the Seahawks or the Ravens would take a chance on him. If that happens, Brown would have to miss half of the regular season. We’ll see if this prompts some team to sign him so he can go to training camp before serving his 8-game suspension. Stay tuned.
