Antonio Brown was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers nearly two months ago, but the former All-Pro wide receiver is still taking shots at the organization, head coach Bruce Arians and former quarterback Tom Brady.
The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown is back in the news this week after he took to Instagram to post an X-ray of his injured ankle which he appeared to assert was from after the Jets game.
“They tried to hurt me intentionally @buccaneers,” Brown wrote. “Sent me out there after knowing I was still hurt. Tom [Brady] said he would throw it if I came to play hurt. I came. He didn’t throw it. Imagine being hurt having to play through this and being lied too (sic). Coach said if I couldn’t run on this get the f–k out of here. F–k all you MF. Still caint (sic) stop me @nfl.”
That post has since been taken down. Why? Because it was pointed out the x-ray wasn’t what he appeared to say they were. A closer examination at the dates printed on the x-rays show that they were taken in October – months before the Jets game.
Brown insisted that Arians made him play with an injured ankle, but the coach denied his accusations. Arians also claimed that his outburst came about because he wasn’t getting the football in the game against the New York Jets.

Former teammate Mike Evans seemed to confirmn what Arians stated.
Brown said on the “Full Send Podcast” that Brady was only his friend because he’s good at playing football.
“To me, a friend is someone who’s got your back,” Brown said at the time. “Not everybody in sports is going to be your friend. Tom Brady’s my friend why? Because I’m a good football player. He needs me to play football. People have different meanings of what friendship is.”
The two had seemingly forgave each other, but now they are right back at square one with his latest deleted outburst.
Brown’s future in the NFL remains unclear.
