Duane Brown, an NFL offensive tackle who most recently played for the Seattle Seahawks, was recently arrested in Los Angeles. The free agent was reportedly trying to take a gun through airport security at Los Angeles International Airport.
Law enforcement said that Brown had the gun in his luggage while going through security. The gun was unloaded, but police were called immediately and arrested the five-time Pro Bowl selection.

This is a real spanner in the works for the free agent, who is looking for a new franchise ahead of the 2022-23 season.
Duane Brown's NFL future hangs in the balance
The next step for Duane Brown is probably to post bail or pay the fine. Brown will undoubtedly face charges of some sort and possibly disciplinary action from the NFL for the infraction. Once he is released, he'll probably resume training and his search for a new franchise.
Brown is 36, but could have a few years left at the top of the game. This arrest will hurt his prospects, but it's unlikely to force him out of the league.
One potential landing spot for the free agent is the Carolina Panthers. For years, the Panthers have struggled to protect their quarterbacks, possibly resulting in career-altering injuries for former MVP Cam Newton.
Since they've just traded for Baker Mayfield, they'll probably be in the market for reinforcements for their offensive line. They drafted Ikem Ekwonu, but there is another tackle spot they could shore up.
The Dallas Cowboys may also be looking to improve their offensive line, while the Green Bay Packers probably want to protect the highest-paid player in the NFL in Aaron Rodgers, so they could also look into signing the former Seahawk.
Brown is one of the premier offensive linemen, having been named to an All-Pro Team once and the Pro Bowl five times.
Presuming he gets through this ordeal, teams will certainly come calling.
