After the game the Tampa Bay Buccaneers HC in press conference said that Antonio Brown is no longer a Buc and has been released by the team with immediate effect.

“The team wanted AB to play & get his incentives.. from what I understand Antonio Brown had some doubts during the game that his ankle was good enough to go” – Ian Rapoport on Pat McAfee show.

Ian Rapoport says that Antonio Brown thought his ankle was not 100% to return back to the game after his coaches wanted him to go back into the game is the reason why all the drama happened yesterday.

It was not about the incentives as the team wanted Brown to play , said Ian Rapoport on the show.

Ian Rapoport says that Brown didn’t practice with the squad 2 days before because of ankle issues but looked good in pre game warmups which was the reason they played him.

When Brown refused to go back into the game the Bucs HC ejected him which led to the outburst caused by Antonio Brown as he threw away his gear and jersey and went running back to the locker room.

This might well be the end of Brown’s NFL career as this was supposed to be his last chance despite of all the things which he has done in the past and has been in the news for.
