Just saw a report that an outside doctor Examined Brown and confirmed that he does have a lingering ankle injury and should not have been on the field this past weekend.

If I put it all on the line for a coach to turn around and treat me like just another number I’d be big mad too.

SaintGnome

so, you want us to sign him Rez? With all the baggage, if TPA releases him (knowing someone in the playoffs might bite, so most likely not)
Isn't there a process, that a player uses if injurered : goes to training staff, under the tent, or back in the stadium instead of the jersey ripping, blah blah?
I don't like Arians, but put this on him, I dunno

We are the definition of desperate. Go for it, even if it's just a rental.

Jesus. He's a head case. And he was a dick in Pit before they let him walk.

I'd actually be embarrassed if the Saints signed him. He isn't going to win the SB for us. And he's a complete disaster. We already have a douchy diva WR. His name is Can't Call Mike.

What's next? We can start signing more drug addicts and wife beaters like the Cows?

Nah, I'd prefer the organization to have some respect.

Just my opinion.

Bucs still haven’t cut him and he’s going to need surgery on his ankle based on the latest reports and the statement he just released. Bone fragments in his ankle, torn ligament, and cartilage damage. Arians is a dick. He wouldn’t be able to play even if we did sign him. He’s in the same boat MT13 medically.

As far as the interaction, AB said Arians told him to go back in the game and when he said he couldn’t Coach Arians told him he was “done” and made a “throat slitting” motion. So AB got pissed and took off the jersey because he didn’t want to wear the brand of an organization who would treat him like an animal. He had an emotional reaction, but I expect that from an emotional guy. Arians is a dick.

Rez, I think this is the most important statement to make and you are 100 percent right. everyone makes a big deal about ABs issues, yet Bruce Arians has a reputation of being a dirty coach and no one talks about it.

Shows over AB is done for the season...

Antonio Brown breaks silence on leaving Buccaneers, accuses team of cover-up regarding injured ankle.
Antonio Brown has broken his silence. In a lengthy statement through his attorney Sean Burstyn, the veteran wide receiver explained his side of the situation that unfolded on Sunday where he departed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sideline in the midst of their matchup against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.

Brown is alleging that the team is engaging an ongoing "cover-up" surrounding his injured ankle. He noted in the statement that an MRI on his ankle revealed "broken bone fragments stuck in my ankle, the ligament torn from the bone, and cartilage loss, which are beyond painful." He is also set to undergo surgery on that ankle.

Prior reports highlighted this injury as the main catalyst for Brown's outburst on the sideline and subsequent departure from the team in the middle of the game. Brown reportedly got into a spat with head coach Bruce Arians as he tried to get him into the game he the receiver refused. Once he refused to enter the game upon another request from Arians, the coach is said to have told him to "get out."

Yes... Lets re- sign both Michael Thomas and sign A Brown. Saints need more phantom saviours and bench warmers
