Antonio Brown to accept plea deal in attempted murder case, lawyer says

Former NFL star Antonio Brown, who is accused of attempted murder, is planning to agree to a plea deal with prosecutors that would spare him prison time and is too good to turn down, his lawyer said.

Brown was arrested by police in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2025 after a shooting in Miami earlier that year.

He is accused of taking a gun from a security guard and firing two shots at a man he had been fighting with earlier in the evening. One of the shots grazed the victim's neck.

The 38-year-old is due in court on September 30, when the plea deal is expected. According to defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh, Brown will plead guilty to aggravated assault and be sentenced to probation. If convicted of the original attempted murder charge, Brown faced 30 years in prison.
