The Buccaneers officially released Antonio Brown on Thursday, days after the wide receiver abruptly left the field during the team's contest vs. the Jets.
The team said in a statement, his contract was terminated effective immediately.
Late in the third quarter of Tampa Bay's eventual 28–24 win on Sunday, Brown removed his jersey and shoulder pads before running shirtless off the field. Arians said after the win Brown is “no longer a Buc,” due to the third-quarter incident.
On Wednesday night, Brown, via his attorney Sean Burstyn, accused the team of executing an “ongoing cover-up" against him.
