Ex-NFL star Antonio Brown has had quite a beginning to his stint as the owner of the NAL team, the Albany Empire. After acquiring 95 percent of ownership, AB has been accused of not paying the players as well as the coaching staff of the franchise. While many believe that the Albany Empire will be burned to the ground by Antonio Brown, players of the team are already on the lookout for other places to restart their careers once again. However, amidst all the exits from the team, there is someone who has rejoined the side.
