Antonio Brown may no longer be affiliated with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but that doesn't mean he's ready to move on.
In his appearance on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, the mercurial wide receiver made it known via his lawyer Sean Burstyn that his camp is reportedly planning to file a lawsuit against the Buccaneers, his former coach Bruce Arians and Bucs GM Jason Licht.
Via ESPN:
“Antonio Brown was defamed by this spin that he had a mental health episode that makes him someone who's not reliable to do a good job on the field,” Burstyn said. “So we're pursuing internally all of our rights under the CBA and considering them and maybe stepping outside of the CBA.
Unless you're an NFL fan living under a rock this past month, everyone is well aware of Antonio Brown's outlandish exit from the Buccaneers during their final regular season game agains the Jets. While many initially painted it as another one of AB's infamous episodes, as he has wont to do in the past, the details surrounding his departure seemed far from one-sided.
“All of our options are on the table. We're going to hold to account the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bruce Arians, the general manager to the extent anyone who's responsible for this spin that Antonio isn't reliable to do a good job playing football because he doesn't have the mental fortitude to do it. They'll be held to account.”
Looks like the Antonio Brown vs. Buccaneers saga has been renewed for at least another season.
