Antonio Brown goes after Bucs, Brady in most recent social media post
A lot has changed in the football landscape since Antonio Brown's bizarre mid-game exit and subsequent release from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. From the look of things, though, the disgruntled wide receiver is still holding a grudge.
Brown, currently without a team, took to social media on Monday for a profanity-sprinkled rant at his former team. In addition to alleging the Bucs forced him to play on an injured ankle -- which he includes an x-ray image of -- Brown used the now-deleted post to trash quarterback Tom Brady as not keeping his word with regard to targeting him in the early-January matchup against the New York Jets.
The exact details of what led to Brown's meltdown and when the relationship with the Buccaneers went so wrong are still difficult to sift through. Brown has said on different occasions that Tampa Bay forced him to play on his injured ankle against New York and forced him to take drugs for the pain. However, his most recent post also appears to not fit the timeline of events we already know about.
This isn't the first time Brown has gone after Brady, either, previously saying the decorated QB pretended to be his friend because Brady "needed" him to make big plays.
