“Once you burn the Brady bridge, IT’S OVER”: Skip Bayless believes Antonio Brown’s stint as an NFL player is over for good
Follow Us
Antonio Brown is likely never going to return to the NFL as a player ever again. This comes in light of his recent comments about his future as a professional wideout in the league. Brown told his fans to not expect him to return and play in the upcoming season. This is different from before, Brown was willing to play in the NFL but he was not getting opportunities are given his erratic behavior and locker room acts but now the tables have turned as he appears to have settled into his full-time job as a rapper, an independent businessman, and is doing whatever he wants to do.
Brown believes that he is a legend in the NFL and that he has achieved all that he had to achieve as a professional player in the league, setting and breaking records. The latter part of his career was problematic as he became too full of himself and ended up dancing his own way out of the league. When a guy like Tom Brady gives you a shot and you end up screwing him over, well then consider yourself retried as no team would want to come within a foot of you.
“Nobody in this league is going to say, ‘We’ll figure this out,’ if Tom Brady couldn’t”: Skip Bayless believes no team will sign Antonio Brown
FOX Sports analyst and host of Undisputed, Skip Bayless thinks that Antonio Brown is done and that his time in the league is done. His NFL career is done and dusted as he has blown every visible opportunity that he was offered. The reasons that he has given were also very trivial and are not rational.
“Once you burn the Brady bridge, it’s just hard to build another one. Nobody is going to say, ‘We’ll figure this out,’ because Tom Brady couldn’t figure it out and that all-time meltdown walk-off at the Jets game..” Skip cites these as the reasons why no team would want anything to do with Brown, in addition to that he goes on to mention AB’s ankle injury.
“He had a career-threatening ankle injury that was going to require surgery but he said, ‘I’m not going to get surgery until somebody signs me,’ nobody’s gonna sign you until you’re a 100% healthy, and now I have to believe that you are damaged goods.”
Skip believes that Brown venturing on to other things in his life is the best for him as he can no longer be a part of the NFL as a player, “Kanye has cast another lifeline out there for him, he’s got a rap career now.” Skip concludes.
Brown is the kind of person who wishes to live his life on his own terms, which is fine but he cannot do that while attempting to play football at the highest level. You cannot stand up to the NFL, the league moves on with or without you. Brown wanted the league to do things by his terms which clearly did not work out well enough for him.
