Bruce Arians Says Antonio Brown is ‘No Longer a Buc’ after Sideline Outburst
Following his early, bizarre exit from Sunday’s win over the New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians announced that wide receiver Antonio Brown is no longer a member of the team.
“He is no longer a Buc,” Arians said of Brown during his postgame press conference.
According to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, Arians asked Brown to enter the game with his team trailing the Jets, but the wideout refused multiple times. After Arians told him to “get out,” Brown took off his uniform and left.
“Never seen anything like it in all my years,” Arians told Glazer.
Brown caught 92 passes for 1,083 yards and ten touchdowns in 17 games since joining the Buccaneers last season.
