Antonio Brown’s NFL career may have come to an end on Sunday when he tossed his equipment and left the Buccaneers’ sideline shirtless at MetLife Stadium in a game against the Jets.
So what exactly happened when Brown left the field?
A photo has surfaced on social media that appears to show Brown standing outside MetLife Stadium in the parking lot with his suitcase waiting for a ride.
The Jets banners are in the background of the photo and the clothes appear to match what he was wearing in an AP photo taken of him prior to the game.
According to Chris Myers of FOX Sports, security told him Brown ran out of the stadium and into a police car to be escorted on a flight out of town, although his tweet does not totally fall in line with the apparent photo. NFL Network's Peter Schrager confirmed that Brown did not fly back with the team.
Brown also posted that photo of himself in those clothes on his Twitter following the game with the caption, “Super Gremlin,” a reference to a rap song by Kodak Black (who was arrested on Saturday on trespassing charges).
Brown, who head coach Bruce Arians said was no longer on the team after the game, also made more posts on his Instagram account following the incident.
One post included him in camouflage clothes with the caption, “Football is what we do, not who we are! Love,” with a heart emoji.
Another showed him in a Bucs game with the caption, “Big MAD (Making A Difference) Thanks for the opportunity.”
FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer reported that Brown refused to go into the game multiple times when Arians told him to, before the head coach finally told him to leave.
Surely, there will be plenty more to come out about his whole saga and that we will hear from Brown — on social media or some other form — one way or another.
