Antonio Brown has moved one step closer to possibly getting on the field again, pleading no contest to charges involving an incident with the driver of a delivery truck.

Brown faced charges of felony burglary and misdemeanor battery after an incident outside his home in Florida in January. He’ll perform 100 hours of community services, take an anger management class and undergo a psychological evaluation. He’s also be placed on probation for two years.

Brown isn’t out of the weeds yet. The league is still looking into allegations of sexual assault and rape made in a lawsuit, and Brown could (almost certainly will) face a suspension from one or both incidents.

But Brown is interested in resuming his career, and it seems like there probably will be a team willing to take him on. Russell Wilson, Tom Brady and Lamar Jackson have all expressed at least some interest in playing with him. None of those quarterbacks play for teams that look like good landing spots, but it seems there’s at least a chance that some team offers him a roster spot.

“With this matter now resolved and behind him, Mr. Brown looks forward to continuing his cooperation with the NFL and resuming his phenomenal professional career,” his agent said in a statement. “He has achieved so much throughout his life from both a personal and professional standpoint, and will continue to do so.”

Brown will be 32 in July. He’s past his peak. But I would think he’s still got enough talent that he could possibly put up some top-10 receiving numbers in the right situations. In a typical fantasy draft, I would think it would make sense to start considering Brown about 70 wide receivers into a draft with a gamble pick.

Using PPR scoring, Brown in the last 10 years has six of the top 28 seasons by wide receivers. Only 37 wide receivers in the just-completed decade have finished with over 300 fantasy points, and Brown is the only one who’s done it six times. Only two other wide receivers have done it three times (Brandon Marshall and DeAndre Hopkins).
