Last season, Antonio Brown did the unthinkable. After a verbal altercation with the head coach, Brown stormed off the pitch during the game against the New York Jets. Nobody had seen anything like it before in the NFL. As a result, everyone was shocked after seeing Brown go away from the field.
Many claimed it was the last time we would see Brown on an NFL field. So far, that prediction appears true, as no team is willing to bring Brown back into the league. AB was a crucial part of the Bucs’ team, and losing him wasn’t easy for them.

Recently, Antonio Brown has been performing concerts and having fun while rapping. He is also putting out vlogs which are getting seen by a lot of fans. In the most recent vlog, Brown showed a fan cussing his former head coach, Bruce Arians. The fan on his phone wrote, “F*ck Bruce Arians,” and Brown put that part in his vlog.
Does it mean that Brown is still not over that altercation? Could he be blaming Bruce Arians for costing him his career? Bruce Arians was himself replaced by Todd Bowles as the new head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It gave further rise to speculation regarding whether Arians were the problem in Tampa.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers missed Antonio Brown in the playoffs
After that incident, the Buccaneers released Antonio Brown. It came at a bad time because the playoffs were ahead. Prior to last season, the Bucs won the Super Bowl, and Brown played a crucial part in it.
Last season, both Tom Brady and the Bucs missed Antonio Brown heavily in the playoffs. Brady lost one of his favorite targets. It helped the opposing team’s defense to be fully focused on Mike Evans and Rob Gronkowski. If Brown had still been there with the squad, the story could have been very different last season.
