Former NFL star Antonio Brown plans to accept a plea deal on an attempted murder charge in Miami, avoiding a potential 30-year prison sentence. Brown, who played 12 years in the NFL and won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is accused of firing a gun at a man after a fight at a celebrity boxing match in May 2025. Brown claims he acted in self-defense. His lawyer, Mark Eiglarsh, stated that although Brown believes in his innocence, the plea deal offers a significantly reduced charge and probation, making it a reasonable choice. Brown has faced various legal issues in the past, including domestic violence charges and an incident during a 2021 game that led to his release from the Buccaneers.
