Antonio Brown has revealed the text message he sent to Tampa Bay captaincy coach Bruce Arians the day before he was released.
“We are NOT resting for the playoffs,” said Arians.
Brown later told the coach that although he wanted to play, his ankle had not yet fully healed.
“Come see me in the morning,” replied Arians. “We’ll tell. Definitely want you to come with us in case you’re ready.”
“Health over Wealth # Barbarian,” he tweeted along with an image of a trainer helping him with a workout on his ankle.
Brown later tweeted, “Don’t get me wrong. My brothers have treated me well. From Tom to the intern team, we’ve been a top-level unit,” he tweeted. “They were nice to me and were oblivious to my conversation with the coach last week. The whole team mishandled this situation. They let me down and more importantly, my teammates. “
Brown was released after he refused to play in a recent game.
