Ex-NFL star Antonio Brown set to appear in Miami court for expected plea agreement

Defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh said Brown will plead no contest to aggravated assault and receive probation under a deal that would avoid prison.

  • Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown is scheduled to appear in a Miami courtroom Wednesday to accept a plea deal that will allow 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 fair, while Brown claims he acted in self-defense citing 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 Brown 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, with his career ending in 2021 after he left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
