Josh Brown’s second career is in even greater jeopardy than his first.
JLL, the real-estate brokerage firm with which Brown interned the past two offseasons, will not bring the New York Giants kicker back for more training next offseason, a company spokesperson revealed in a statement Thursday, according to The Seattle Times’ Mike Rosenberg. Brown once had an “open invitation” to work at JLL full time, but that’s no longer the case.
The news comes amid revelations of Brown’s long history of domestic violence against his ex-wife, and how the Giants and the NFL have handled the issue.
JLL didn’t say whether its decision not to bring Brown back is related to those recent revelations. But as Rosenberg points out, the move may have caught Brown off-guard.
“As of Thursday, Brown still said in his LinkedIn and Twitter pages that he worked at JLL, and media reports from last off-season said he intended to come back next year,” Rosenberg wrote.
The NFL placed Brown on commissioner Roger Goodell’s exempt list Friday, ruling him out for an indefinite period of time. Many expect the Giants to cut ties with Brown, and doubt exists over whether Brown will play another NFL game.
Brown still might pursue a career in commercial real estate, but JLL won’t provide him a launching pad from its Seattle-area office.
