Antonio Brown takes off uniform on Bucs sideline, goes to locker room
(AP) — Add this to an already lengthy list of bizarre moments for Antonio Brown.
Late in the third quarter of the Buccaneers’ game against the New York Jets, the Tampa Bay wide receiver stripped off his pads and jersey and ran bare-chested from the field, through the end zone and into the tunnel at MetLife Stadium.
It appeared to possibly be a show of frustration by Brown, who had three catches for 26 yards. He waved to the fans as he was leaving.
Brown was talking to teammate Mike Evans on the sideline when he began taking off his jersey and pads.
There was no immediate word from the Buccaneers on what happened or why Brown left the game.
After the incident, coach Bruce Arians said that Brown is “no longer a Buc.”
When asked about the decision to cut Brown, Arians responded, “I’m not talking about him. He’s no longer part of the Bucs.”
The Buccaneers won the game 28-24.
