Here is the full release on behalf of #Bucs FA WR Antonio Brown:

An NFL spokesperson told Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk "the matter remains under review" despite the settlement.

Taylor originally filed a civil lawsuit in the state of Florida against Brown in September 2019 over two alleged sexual assaults and one alleged rape that took place on three separate occasions between June 2017 and May 2018. 

According to the lawsuit, Brown was accused of exposing himself and kissing Taylor without permission during one training session in June 2017. 

That same month, the lawsuit noted Brown "started masturbating behind Taylor and ejaculated on her back" while they were watching video on a tablet. 

Taylor noted she ended her working relationship with Brown at that point but met up with him several months later when he contacted her to apologize and assured her "that he would cease any sexual advances."

Per the lawsuit, on May 20, 2018, Brown "forced her onto a bed, pushed her face into the mattress and 'forcibly' raped her."

The veteran wide receiver denied the allegations in Taylor's lawsuit and filed a countersuit against her in November 2019 for defamation of character and interference with his NFL contracts and endorsements. 

The NFL suspended Brown for the first eight games of the 2020 season for multiple violations of the league's personal conduct policy. 

Brown signed a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in October. He is currently a free agent.
