Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said Antonio Brown is "no longer a Buc" after the wide receiver's bizarre exit from the team's game Sunday. Trailing the New York Jets by two touchdowns in the third quarter, Brown removed his shoulder pads, jersey and undershirt on the sidelines and jogged into the locker room.
Brown appeared to gesture for the crowd to cheer on his way into the tunnel, despite being in the middle of a road game at the Jets' home stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
At his postgame press conference, Arians said Brown was "no longer a Buc," but didn't have any further comment. About an hour after the game ended, Arians told Jay Glazer of "Fox NFL Sunday" that he tried to get Brown to go back into the game on two separate occasions but Brown refused. Arians then told him to leave. Referring to the way Brown exited, the 69-year-old coach told Glazer that he had "never seen anything like it in all my years."
