Antonio Brown Celebrated After Bruce Arians’ Buccaneers Were Eliminated From The Postseason

It sure looked like Bruce Arians and the Buccaneers could’ve used Antonio Brown on Sunday.

But after the tirade during the Jets game, the receiver has started a vendetta against the Buccaneers coach after being cut by the team. According the AB, he was injured late in the season, and Arians was trying to force him to play. Arians claims the receiver was simply refusing to go in because he wasn’t getting the ball that game.

In the end, Bruce Arians appeared to be the one who could have used another play-maker at receiver during the team’s 30-27 loss to the Rams in yesterday’s Divisional Round playoff game. And AB made sure to rub it in after the game ended.

Antonio Brown would say during an appearance on the “I Am Athlete” podcast that he hopes to team up with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens during the offseason.

But being as his career has been marred by controversy, it remains to be seen if another team will take on the distraction of signing a guy like Brown.

One thing is for sure: Bruce Arians and Antonio Brown certainly won’t be exchanging Christmas cards in the future.
