The Antonio Brown saga could result in legal action.
According to ESPN's Michele Steele, Brown's attorney, Sean Burstyn, said the plan is to "take legal action against the responsible individuals." While nothing has been filed, any legal action would be taken because of perceived damage to the rest of Brown's career from the ongoing fallout after Sunday's incident during the game against the New York Jets.
Brown took off his jersey and helmet and emphatically left the field while motioning to the crowd at MetLife Stadium.
The Buccaneers announced Thursday they "terminated" his contract and added, "While Antonio did receive medical treatment on his ankle and was listed on the injury report the week leading up to last Sunday's game, he was cleared to play by our medical team prior to the start of the game and at no point during the game did he indicate to our medical personnel that he could not play.
