S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Florida. The 35-year-old athlete, who had a successful 12-year NFL career earning over $80 million, listed his estimated assets as $50,000 or less.

The bankruptcy filing reveals that Brown owes a total of $2,931,158.51 to eight creditors. The largest claim is a $1.2 million court judgment that he owes to Anton Tumanov, a moving truck driver who sued Brown for assault and battery stemming from a January 2020 incident. Brown failed to attend any of the hearings related to this case. The remaining debts are the result of three other court judgments.

CTESPN Network, Brown's media company, acknowledged the bankruptcy filing in a social media post, affirming his status as an "NFL legend" and mentioning his upcoming music release this summer. Brown, who was drafted in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL draft, played the majority of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, had a brief stint with the New England Patriots in 2019, and won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.

The bankruptcy filing adds to the tumultuous events that have marred Brown's late- and post-NFL career. In 2020, he was suspended for eight games by the NFL due to multiple violations of the league's personal conduct policy, including the moving truck dispute and allegations of sending threatening texts to a woman who accused him of sexual misconduct. Brown also settled a lawsuit in 2021 with a former trainer who accused him of sexual assault and served a three-game suspension for submitting a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to the Buccaneers.

After leaving the NFL, Brown became the majority owner of the Albany Empire, a National Arena League team, in April 2023. However, two months later, the NAL terminated the team's league membership due to a failure to pay league assessments. Brown was fined $1,000 for "Conduct Detrimental to the League," but reportedly refused to pay the fee. Prior to Brown's ownership, the Albany Empire had won back-to-back NAL championships in 2021 and 2022.

As of now, there has been no response from Brown's attorney listed in the bankruptcy filing. The situation continues to shed light on the challenges and financial struggles that can arise for professional athletes, even after their careers come to an end.
