Antonio Brown’s Deal with Bucs on Hold for Good Reason

Controversial NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown reportedly agreed to terms on a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers all the way back in April, but the team has yet to officially announce the signing. There’s a good reason AB hasn’t signed yet. Brown hasn’t passed his physical yet, head coach Bruce Arians told Pewter Report on Tuesday.

“He has to pass the physical,” Arians said. He hopefully will have a scope on Tuesday, getting his knee cleaned up, and everything will work out fine.”

#Bucs WR Antonio Brown underwent successful knee surgery on Tuesday, a clean-out after some issues last season. Just a few weeks of recovery, then he’ll be ready to go. Coach Bruce Arians said on The Pewter Report Podcast that his deal will be official when he passes a physical.

Arians didn’t sound very worried about the deal falling through, so we’ll most likely get to see Tom and AB going for a repeat.

Brown played in eight games with the Bucs last season, catching 45 passes for 483 yards and 4 touchdowns.

He also caught a touchdown during the Bucs’ Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
