“Bro, you have no idea. This is..that was one of the craziest games I’ve ever been a part of.”, Sherman said to the broadcaster duo. He also told about how Brown was ‘getting kind of fired up’ on the dugout.

He also mentioned how HC Bruce Arians talked to Brown just before the meltdown happened. “…you look up on the Jumbotron. And you see the video of him like taking the shirt off and doing that and you’re like, yeah, what? But it had already happened. And this was just a replay of it.”

Life after the meltdown for Antonio Brown is a mixed bag

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released Antonio Brown right after that match. “He is no longer a Buc, alright? That’s the end of the story,” Head Coach Bruce Arians told in the post-match press conference. Brown later released a statement saying Arians forced him to play despite an ankle injury. He also accused the HC of threatening him while saying, “You’re done.”

Browns remains a free agent with no club showing interest in him till now. Meanwhile, he has focused on his music career releasing a rap single named ‘Pit Not The Palace.’ He even performs shows in nightclubs as a professional rapper.

However, some NFL insiders claim that getting another chance at gridiron in the near future should be a simple task for the one-time super bowl champion.
