Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians has spent the past day thinking a lot about Antonio Brown. The veteran receiver had a meltdown on the K.J. Wright Jersey Tampa Bay sideline during the team's 28-24 win over the Jets, and was dismi sed from the team as a result of his actions.Brown left the sideline midway through the third quarter after an apparent dispute with the coaches.He then took off his jersey, pads and undershirt before throwing his shirt and gloves into the crowd. He then ran off the field, did some jumping jacks in the end zone to pump up the Jets crowd and disappeared into the locker room after flashing a peace sign.He never returned to the field.MORE: Arians spoke about Brown's outburst on Monday afternoon and was asked whether there Willie Brown Jersey was a sign that things were escalating before Brown's departure."None whatsoever," Arians told .Arians declined to explain exactly what he and Brown had talked about on the sideline before Brown's meltdown.Per a report from NBC's Peter King, Arians asked Brown to go into the game, Robert Jackson Jersey . NFL Network reported that Brown may have been dealing with an aggravation of his ankle injury, but Arians denied that the receiver was dealing with an injury."It's pretty obvious what happened. He left the field and that was it," Arians said. "We had a conversation and he left the field."Brown's reaction prompted the team to release him. Arians announced that the receiver "was no longer a Buc" after the game, and he flew home separately from the team.IYER: Despite the way things ended, Arians doesn't regret the decision to sign Brown."I have no regrets. I just hope the best for him," Malcolm Koonce Jersey Arians said.Brown was a part of Tampa Bay's Super Bowl-winning team last season, but hehad a history of outbursts, off-the-field i sues includingsexual a sault charges and mental health i sues at the time of his signing.That's why his tenures with the Steelers, Raiders and Patriots endedprematurely.MORE: Thus, it's not exactly surprising that Brown's time with the Bucs ended in a similar fashion. It stilldidn't make it any le s difficult for Arians, who called the decision "very hard.""I wish him well," Arians said. "If he needs Las Vegas Raiders Jersey help, I hope he gets some. It's very hard. Because I do care about him." |
