It seems the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown is regretting his decision to walk off the field. The star has recently dipped his toes into the music industry and released an album for his fans. In the album, he spits bars about his abrupt departure and his affection for Tom Brady.
After leaving the field in the middle of the Week 17 match, Brown was completely sidelined by the franchise. On various occasions, Brown addressed his willingness to return, but it seems none of the teams have approached him so far.

In 2021, Brown signed a one-year, $3.1 million contract, which included more than $916,000 in base salary, a $2 million signing bonus, and more than $370,000 in a roster bonus. Earlier, the Buccaneers GM Jason Licht told ESPN that the wide receiver and his agent requested the remaining $2 million in incentives as a part of his contract. However, the team declined Brown’s request.
According to the news outlet, Brown couldn’t reach the prescribed targets to unlock his bonuses. He needed eight more receptions, 55 more receiving yards, and another receiving touchdown to hit three separate bonuses that would have earned him $333,000 each. Meanwhile, Tom Brady’s retirement was also included in his rap.
