The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have officially severed ties with Antonio Brown, terminating the contract of the mercurial receiver who claimed he was fired in the middle of a game for not playing through an ankle injury.
Antonio Brown, a star wide receiver, left the field after he stripped off his jersey and pads in the middle of Sunday’s game against the Jets.TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially severed ties with Antonio Brown, terminating the contract of the mercurial receiver while also contradicting the player's claim that he was fired in the middle of a game for not playing through an ankle injury.
“That's when I said you're done. Get out of here. That's the end of it. We are working on Carolina,” Arians said, referring to this week's opponent. “That's the end of the story. Hopefully it ends today.” Brown, who has a long history of troubled behavior on and off the field, including being accused by two women of sexual assault — one claimed he raped her — removed his jersey, shoulder pads, undershirt and gloves before leaving the sideline.
While not specifying which ankle was hurt, Brown — through the statement released by attorney Sean Burstyn — said an MRI performed Monday showed broken bone fragments, a ligament tear and cartilage loss “which are beyond painful. You can see the bone bulging from the outside.”
