Following his 9th season with the Steelers (#1), he expressed dissatisfaction with his team role (although he also had arguments with the QB and skipped several practices during the season) and requested to be traded. He was traded to the Raiders (#2) in March, who cut him earlier this month, and was signed, and then cut, by the Pats (#3).
As to the red flag, there are way way too many examples of bad boys being picked up by other teams.
Why did the raiders ditch him? Can you tell…I’m not into sports!
Go Browns!
As I said, AB asked to be traded, and given his shenanigans last season ,I guess the Steelers were happy to grant his request. But since I’m not a Pittsburgh fan, I did/do not follow the minutiae of the team dynamics.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27544508/line-antonio-brown-season has a timeline, including disputes with the Raiders.
I was so over him when he showed up at his first Raiders practice in a hot air balloon. It seems he’s not happy when not having all of the attention on him. Not sure why he wanted to play a team sport if that is his attitude.
Claims he “will not be playing in the NFL anymore”.

Good!
Michigan news outlets are saying he re-enrolled in on line classes with Central Michigan and the college has confirmed. The college emphasized that these are online classes and that he has not been criminally charged so implying that there is no reason to deny the enrollment.
