Antonio Brown Rumor: Secretaries may cut WR after vaccine fails, report says
AB can stop TB early.
It was recently revealed that, despite his urgency, Antonio Brown is in fact unvaccinated and is marching around a fake vaccination card to the Buccaneers and the league.
While the union suspended Brown for infractions (they were careful to say his suspension was a “misrepresentation of his immunization status”), the Bucs may not have been taken: According to Mike Florio of NBC’s Pro Football Talk Tampa Bay is considering cutting Brown for his transgression.

Florio said on Sunday. “Regarding Brown’s future, when he joined the team in October 2020, head coach Bruce Arians told our Peter King that if Brown got into trouble once, he’d leave.
“Now, I’d say they’re actually looking at cutting him. They won’t have to make a decision until he’s qualified to return to the team.”
The NFL’s investigation found that Brown had in fact falsified his immunization status, which is taboo for the league (and indeed, The United States of America). The league decided to suspend Brown for three games – a term believed to be shorter than the league’s original plan because Brown agreed not to appeal.
The world learned of Brown’s condition after his personal chef, Steven Ruiz, said Brown used a fake vaccination card. Brown is said to have been tough on Ruiz over the payments.
Arians, the Bucs head coach, claimed that the team was 100% vaccinated before the start of the season, a claim that is now completely false. In Florio’s view, the Arians have also been blunt about Brown in the past and his tendency to make headlines off the pitch:
“If he gets stuck once, he’ll disappear,” Arians said in October 2020.
Well, this would qualify as “damage”. We’ll see where the Bucs go from here.
