Antonio Brown, who angrily exits MetLife Stadium, is 'no longer a Buc'

The controversial receiver rips off his jersey and leaves the sideline in an apparent huff.

Antonio Brown’s turbulent tenure as a Buccaneer is over.

Fox cameras captured the controversial veteran receiver exiting the MetLife Stadium field in an apparent huff — minus pads or even his jersey — late in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Jets. Brown was seen tossing an undershirt and his gloves into the stands as he departed.

The Bucs’ official radio network reported Brown had been benched by coach Bruce Arians just before the episode.

“Antonio Brown boiled over, very upset on the sideline,” Fox sideline reporter Jen Hale said. “Took off his shoulder pads. Mike Evans, O.J. Howard trying to convince him to keep them on. Obviously they were unable to do so.”

Personal conduct scandals
During and before the 2018 season, Brown was embroiled in numerous incidents in addition to causing tension within the Steelers organization. This included tossing furniture out of his 14th-floor apartment window in April, nearly hitting a 22-month-old child on the patio below,[265] and getting cited for speeding in excess of 100 mph along a suburban Pittsburgh highway.[266] Brown was later sued for the April incident,[267] and reached a settlement with the family of the child in April 2019.[268] In February 2019, a judge ruled him guilty of reckless driving in the speeding incident, and Brown received a fine.[269]

On September 10, 2019, Brown's former trainer, Britney Taylor, filed a lawsuit alleging he sexually assaulted her on three occasions. She claimed that he exposed himself to her, ejaculated on her back, and raped her. Brown and his legal team denied the allegations.[270][271] On September 18, the Allegheny county district attorney's office announced Brown would not be prosecuted because Taylor's accusations were outside of the statute of limitations. The civil suit continued.[272] On September 16, a second woman accused him of sexual misconduct. Separately, Victor Prisk, a Pittsburgh-based doctor, who Brown worked with while with the Steelers, also sued Brown for $11,500 in unpaid fees.[273] A settlement between Brown and Taylor was agreed upon in April 2021.[274]

On January 13, 2020, following several domestic incidents in which police were called to Brown's home in Hollywood, Florida, the Hollywood Police Department stated they no longer want Brown to be associated with their youth league (PAL). The Hollywood police department returned a check from Brown and issued a trespass order preventing him from being involved with their youth league while saying in a statement, "We do not want him to continue to affect our youth, or influence them in a negative way."[275] Days later on January 21, it was reported that Brown and an accomplice had attacked a moving truck driver at the home. Glenn Holt, working as Brown's trainer was arrested, while a warrant for Brown's arrest was issued a day later with a felony charge of battery and burglary.[276] He turned himself in a night later on January 23.[277] Brown was officially charged with felony burglary of a vehicle, misdemeanor battery, and misdemeanor criminal mischief on March 20, 2020.[278] On June 12, 2020, Brown pleaded no contest to the felony battery and burglary charges and received two years of probation. He was also ordered to undergo 100 hours of community service, a 13-week anger management counseling program, and a psychological evaluation.[279]

In a game against the New York Jets in Week 17 of the 2021 season, he ripped off all his equipment and stormed off to the sidelines when the Buccaneers were down two touchdowns. They went on to win the game but head coach Bruce Arians said Brown was “no longer a Buc”[280]

if there is even ONE NFL team out there needing 1 VERY GOOD wide receiver, AND they have NO scruples.......

No - don't laugh - follow the trail:

Pittsburgh - blew up and was released (who would ever sign him?)

Oakland did!

Oops! - blew up and was released (who would ever sign him?)

New England did! (Hey, Bilichick is GOD, right?)

Oops! - cut again!

Tampa Bay takes him - former coach (BA - Arians) loves him and gives him ONE chance.

OOPS!!!!!!
