Jason Licht says he’s “not concerned” about unresolved status of Antonio Brown

Antonio Brown reportedly agreed to a new deal with the Buccaneers a day before the NFL draft. But weeks later, the team has yet to announce the signing. Mike Florio and Chris Simms dive into what could be the holdup.

On Tuesday, Bucs coach Bruce Arians raised the fact that receiver Antonio Brown hasn’t re-signed with the team because he hasn’t passed a physical. The remarks raised potential concerns. On Wednesday, Bucs G.M. Jason Licht knocked them down.

Licht told Ira Kaufman of JoeBucsFan.com that there are no worries about Brown’s ability to pass a physical and become a member of the team again.

Not concerned,” Licht said. “The plan all along is to have him come in. I think he is coming in Monday to sign.”

Arians said that Brown hasn’t signed because of a knee injury that necessitated Tuesday’s arthroscopic procedure. It’s been three weeks since word of Brown’s one-year deal to stay with the team first emerged.
