Antonio Brown: Does have cte| Current team| New york giants
Does have cte:
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released Antonio Brown on Thursday but concerns about the guarantees in his contract apparently came up before his ordeal during the team’s game against the New York Jets.
Brown signed a one-year, $3.1 million contract, which included a more than $916,000 in base salary, a $2 million signing bonus and more than $370,000 in a roster bonus, according to Spotrac.
He also had statistical benchmarks to hit in which he could gain more incentives. He could’ve earned $6.25 million in all.
Current team:
Brown on Wednesday made claims through his attorney he left the game because he was told he was “done.” He said he didn’t quit and that he was cut. He said in the statement that coach Bruce Arians knew about his ankle issue, which he had been on the injury report for going into the Week 17 game.
Licht told ESPN that Brown didn’t disclose to medical personnel about his ankle and the team made “reasonable accommodations” to bring the issue to a close if Brown was injured.
New York Giants:
While Brown said he had an MRI that showed “broken bone fragments stuck in my ankle, the ligament torn from the bone, and cartilage loss, which are beyond painful,” Licht said Brown’s camp declined to send over the medical information.
“The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have terminated the contract of Antonio Brown, effective immediately. While Antonio did receive treatment on his ankle and was listed on the injury report the week leading up to last Sunday’s game, he was cleared to play by our medical team prior to the start of the game and at no point during the game did he indicate to our medical personnel that he could not play.”
