Crazy. You can't tolerate that behavior though. Appreciate his role in our championship season but his sanity ran out today... again.

No way in hell. They would torpedo their own teams.

They don't have the need.

I don't think AB is coming back to the NFL. Teams can turn a blind eye when they do off the field shit...but literally quitting the way he did in the middle of a game...nobody is going to touch that.

He's done. There is no one else, maybe the Canadian League or something.

That's like a code of honor, players will forgive you for making an ass of yourself or whatever, but not quitting mid-game.

And then played up to the Jets crowd, as though he was with them now and purposely fucked the Bucs over.

Fuck him.

This. When your crazy hurts the on-field product the league will bury you.

Tennis Announcer: That's 72 unforced errors for Antonio Brown. He's playing the worst tennis of his life. What's he feeling right now, Tex Haywood?

Tex Haywood: I don't know, Jim. There's obviously something wrong with him. He's taken off his shoes and one of his socks and... actually, I think he's crying.

What happened here? Mad he wasn’t getting his targets because incentives? Or just crazy AB?

I know this is the last thing on anyone’s mind, but this may be the last straw that keeps him out of the HOF.

No way. If he had a meltdown like this with Tom Brady, nobody is touching him. He walked away from his football career. I seriously see him trying to start shit with Jake Paul for a boxing match.


As for us, anyone got Larry Fitzgerald’s number?

Yeah... He realized he wasn't gonna make his bonus this season, so he quit.

I’d love to see the text message conversation between Tom and AB:

“Yo 12 leave my shit on the front porch”

“You da man AB!”

If he quit on the team over incentives then he's a moron. He would've got them next week easy.

What a bizarre game all around.

TO was annoying (to say the least), but unless I’m totally forgetting something, he never quit on his team like this.

I started both Brown and Jones in my Championship game and still currently have a 67% chance to win, unbelievably.

This guy could care less about his team, my team, any team. He is just a selfish Sociopath, nothing more.

Time to start thinking about how we replace the production. He has hurt our ability to repeat most definitely.

I'm glad we cut AB, but would it have been more strategic to just suspend AB for conduct detrimental in other prevent him from having even a small chance of signing with an NFC rival?

Or would the awful optics and press outweigh whatever strategic advantage we'd gain by keeping him suspended?

Maybe. I wonder if they still could do that if the paperwork for cutting him hasn’t officially been filed.

Same here and still favored to win (62%) somehow but it should have been a blowout.... Probably lose after leading league in scoring by over 300 points this year, lol

Need Mitchell and Deebo to do something in the late game

The press would outweigh anything. The entire week, literally the only question that anyone on the Bucs would be asked is why we didn't cut AB after we said we would. Players would only be asked if AB should still be on the team. It would be exhausting for them.

And honestly, that's why I don't think anyone is going to sign him. The moment you sign the man, you bring a media avalanche to your team. With a game left before the playoffs start, no team wants to enter distracted.

Maybe during the offseason he could find a home with a desperate team. But I still think he's potentially done.

If there is a legal way to make him ineligible to play for other teams and have him not welcome at the Buccaneers facility they may decide to take that route.
