Head coach Bruce Arians reiterated Wednesday that Brown is no longer considered part of the Buccaneers, saying the absence of a transaction is just a matter of the front office working on how to handle the situation officially, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arians essentially shut the door on any sentiment that Brown might be able to rejoin the Bucs, though it's still possible other teams could be interested in signing the wideout for the playoffs once he's officially off Tampa Bay's roster.
AB just released his statement on the incident. And as surprising as it is - he actually seems to make sense. Claims Arians wanted him to play through a severe ankle injury and cut him right on the bench when he refused to. Apparently, a recent MRI confirmed the injury, that requires immediate surgery. There is a chance that front office has no freaking idea how to "handle the situation officially", as it may indeed have been Arians, not AB, who screwed up big time.
