Ex-NFL star Antonio Brown set to appear in Miami court for expected plea agreement
Brown would plead no contest to aggravated assault and receive probation, avoiding prison and a felony conviction, his attorney said.
- Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown is scheduled to appear in a Miami courtroom Wednesday to accept a plea deal, allowing him to avoid prison time on a reduced charge in his attempted murder case.
- Brown was accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer following a May 16, 2025, celebrity boxing match and firing two shots at Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, who investigators say was grazed by a bullet.
- Richard Cooper, an attorney for Nantambu, called the plea agreement a fair resolution, while Brown claims he acted in self-defense under Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law.
- Defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh said Brown will plead no contest to aggravated assault and receive probation, with adjudication withheld so he will not be considered a convicted felon.
- Brown, 38, spent 12 years in the NFL, recording 928 receptions for more than 12,000 yards and 88 total touchdowns before his career ended in 2021 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
