Antonio Brown Blames Tom Brady for Shirtless Exit to End NFL Career

Antonio Brown’s last NFL game is a memorable one, as the wide receiver infamously removed his jersey and stormed off the field during a game against the Jets at the end of the 2021 season. The Buccaneers were down 14 points to the Jets late in the third quarter when a shirtless Brown decided it was time to head to the locker room.

Tampa Bay released Brown a few days later, while the wide receiver contended that the team forced him to play through an ankle injury. He hasn’t played since.

Brown addressed the situation Saturday on Tyreek Hill’s It Needed To Be Said podcast, and the former Buccaneer stood by his claim that the team expected him to play through injury.
