From @gmfb: The #Saints are working out FA WR Antonio Brown today. He is not currently on the Commissioner's Exempt list. The NFL said this season, "If he is signed by a club, such placement may become appropriate at any time depending on the status of the investigation." pic.twitter.com/eonlQVt8no

Brown is not expected to play in 2019 unless investigations into rape and sexual assault allegations are cleared up, Rapoport said.
Important note: The NFL has made clear that if someone signs AB, he’s likely headed to the Commissioner’s Exempt list until his investigation is complete. https://t.co/Fax00YmAbV

What this development may mean for the Saints as they look forward to the post season remains unclear.
