Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown is set to accept a plea deal in his Miami attempted murder case, according to multiple reports citing his lawyer. The deal would resolve the charge without a prison sentence, and Brown is expected to appear in court next Wednesday to finalize the agreement.
The accounts describe the case as stemming from an incident in May 2025 outside a celebrity boxing match. One report states that a suspect told investigators that a bullet grazed his neck. Several outlets also note that Brown was extradited from Dubai in November 2025 after an arrest warrant was issued.
While the outlets largely agree on the plea arrangement and its effect of avoiding prison, they differ slightly in phrasing about the specific charge and the sentencing exposure Brown faced if convicted. One outlet mentions the possibility of a lengthy prison term, framing the plea deal as preventing exposure to that maximum punishment. Another emphasizes that the offer is one Brown “couldn’t refuse,” reflecting the characterization from his attorney.
