His departure from the Steelers, in 2018, It came after he was convicted of reckless driving.
In 2019 he signed with the Vegas Raiders, a team that fined him $54,000 for not showing up for training; without debuting he was sent to the New England Patriots, team with which he only played one game that season.
He was fired from the Pats after the team learned of the pair of rape and sexual misconduct lawsuits the former receiver received, lawsuits that have not been resolved.
Brown was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 and 2021, its last two seasons.
He was suspended for the first eight games of the 2020 season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Despite that, he returned to help the team win Super Bowl LV.
