Brown and his attorney both feel that the Bucks owe him contract money, as well as libel damages.
Tampa, Florida – Former wide receiver of the Tampa Bay Pirates, Antonio BrownOn Tuesday, his attorney, Sean Borstein, said they intended to take legal action against the Bucs to fire him after claiming he was too injured to continue playing against the New York Jets and said coach Bruce Aryan ignored their pleas not to re-enter the game.
Burstin, who appeared on HBO’s “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel,” indicated that they would not only be seeking money for Brown’s ankle surgery and money they feel the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement owes to him, but they are investigating. Also in a possible civil defamation lawsuit in favor of the Bucs. Which put the player’s mental health in position.
“Tony [Brown] He unfortunately had this sprain because he was having a mental health episode that made him an untrustworthy person to do a good job in the field. So we are internally searching for all of our rights under the collective agreement and possibly beyond.”
“All of our options are on the table. We will hold the Tampa Bay Buccaneers accountable, Bruce Ariane, general manager to the point where anyone responsible for this turnaround, Antonio is untrustworthy to do a good job playing football because they don’t have the mental strength to do so. They will be held accountable.” .
Brown and his attorney did not provide a monetary figure for how much they were seeking.
“A lot of money. A lot,” Brown said, adding that he was disrespected because his mental health was questioned.
“Draging people and manipulating people’s mental health is, you know, very unfair and unfortunate,” he said.
Borstein said he has evidence that general manager Jason Licht texted him after the match. that he spoke with Bruce Arians and was told by the Arians that Brown claimed that his ankle was injured, which contradicts the Arians’ version of events; He initially emphasized that he was unaware that Brown felt he was in too much pain to continue.
Brown has denied Arianes’ claim that he is upset about not shooting at halftime and needs his teammates to calm him down.
“I didn’t worry about the ball. Tom Brady It was my QB. That’s why I came to Tampa Bay, so I knew I was going to have the ball.”
Gumble tried to intervene, but Brown continued, “I’m going to get the ball. I’m Antonio Brown, I’m a receiver, I get the ball. I had to get a million dollars on the line.”
“Well, that’s what I’m asking of you,” said Gumble. “Would you be more likely to make extra money if you had more play; more receptions and more yards per game against the Jets?”
Borstein exclaimed, “Under contract? Yes. If he can keep playing.”
When Arians was told that Brown denied being annoyed with the plays, Arians asserted: “The players know the truth.”
Brown alleged that the Boss family offered him $200,000 to sit on the sidelines and commit to mental health treatment, which Brown refused.
“These guys from Tampa Buck Bay tried to cut a deal with me to give me $200,000, go to a madhouse to make it sound like they know what they’re talking about,” Brown attacked.
Borstein said Licht told him twice in writing: “Don’t do this any other way.”
When asked if he thought he needed mental help of any kind, Brown asserted, “I’m mentally rich, man. I know a lot of people might not understand me, know how to see things or know how to react to emotional things, but this It’s not because I have a beautiful family, kids, and people all over the world looking at me, and it’s not why I’m in this position now.”
Arius did not specifically use the word “mental health” when discussing the Brown incident. When Arians was asked about Brown’s departure from the field, he said, “Yes, it was very difficult. I wish him the best. I wish he needed help, he gets it. It’s very difficult because I care about him.”
Brown and his attorney said he was injected with the painkiller Toradol before the Bucs’ Week 16 game against the Carolina Panthers and before the Jets’ Week 17 game and was injected regularly. While Toradol is still allowed in the league, the NFL sent out a memo in June urging teams to limit players’ use of analgesic due to the risk of causing severe bleeding.
