Antonio Brown is $3 million in debt, according to bankruptcy filing: ‘I’m broke’

Antonio Brown is broke.
The controversial and erratic former NFL receiver filed for federal bankruptcy in Florida on Monday and owes nearly $3 million to eight creditors, according to a Times Union report.
The former owner of the Albany Empire Arena Football League team cannot pay at least three six-figure civil judgments.
That includes the $1.2 million awarded to truck driver Anton Tumanov , whom Brown reportedly assaulted, after the receiver failed to appear in court for the case in 2022, according to the court filing obtained by the Times Union.
The 35-year-old, who played for the Steelers, Raiders, Buccaneers and Patriots, also owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in credit card debt and $296 to a local plumber.
He hinted at the bankruptcy on his X account on Tuesday, writing “I’m broke” along with a Cash App QR Code along with a meme “The Office” on Monday that reads, “Greatest bankruptcy announcement of all-time.”
Another of Brown’s other creditors included Avanti Solutions for $28,589 after the company sued him for allegedly not paying them for work they did for his appearance at the “Rolling Loud” hip-hop concert in March 2023.
Brown seeming to be struggling financially isn’t new.
The sixth-round pick of the Steelers in 2010 is a four-time All-Pro, who posted with 12,291 yards and 83 touchdowns during his NFL tenure.
He won a Super Bowl with the Tom Brady-led Buccaneers during the 2020 season.
Brown’s career bizarrely ended a year later when he abruptly left the sidelines during a game against the Jets — during which he was playing through an ankle injury — and ripped off his jersey and pads and ran out of MetLife Stadium.
