The Antonio Brown situation is taking one wild turn after another. Brown, who abruptly left the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game against the New York Jets back last Sunday has taken his act to social media with a bunch of accusations towards the Bucs, and seemingly, Tom Brady as well.

But Brown is now walking back on his earlier subtle shot at the future Hall of Famer quarterback.

Don’t get it twisted. My brothers have been good to me. From Tom to practice squad, we were a top-level unit. They have been good to me and knew nothing about my talks with coach last week. The team mishandled this situation. They let me down and, more importantly, my teammates.

Brown, who jogged and jumped on his way out of the Bucs-Jets game in Week 17, said that the Buccaneers forced him to play on a hurting ankle. Brown's already battered reputation is taking another round of hits, regardless of the veracity of the statement he released via his lawyer Sean Burstyn.

That being said, Brown is technically still part of the Buccaneers, who now will have to deal with this situation while also preparing for Week 18's matchup against the lowly Carolina Panthers at home.
