Antonio Brown MELTDOWN: Buccaneers boot star after bizarre incident, Tom Brady wants 'compassion'
Antonio Brown is not a part of Tampa Bay Buccaneer anymore after he retired mid-game during the 28-24 win against the New York Jets on Sunday, January 2, head coach Bruce Arians has confirmed. While Sunday's game at MetLife Stadium was still on, Brown ran across the end zone and headed to the team’s locker room, removing his shoulder pads and jersey. Brown was not among the players in the game when the Buccaneers trailed 24-10 at the time and were driving downfield on offence.
In a post-match news conference, Arians said, "He is no longer a Buc. That’s the end of the story.” Brown reportedly 'boiled over' about something, and no one could ultimately convince him to stay with the team on the sideline.
