AB has humiliated every team he's been on and his antics are far more brand damaging than anything Gordon has ever done.
I'd be shocked to see him get another chance.

AB need to be committed for psychiatric evaluation.
The point is, if Donta’ Stallworth, Josh Brent, and Leonard Little all got another chance after killing someone, Michael Vick for serving hard time, some NFL owner could give AB another chance. Josh Gordon is my favorite example because he’s had countless chances(I concede, he just shoots himself in the foot). Whether it’s the potential to win a game or just to see a circus sideshow, if AB can help generate revenue, he’ll get another shot. [Reply]
Saw an article today that bucs are not cutting him yet. They don't want him becoming a unrestricted free agent and signing with another team for one game and playoffs. [Reply]

Not so sure about that. Most of those guys were decent teammates. Being toxic in the locker room is way more of an issue than being a problem off the field. Maybe I can see someone signing him for a desperation short term option. But what team at this point would want to take on this head cAse. Raiders are a classic example of what could go horribly wrong. [Reply]

Doubt that is the case. More likely need to investigate and document his alleged claim he was too injured to play. This way he is refusing to report. If he does report they can give him a MRI and doctors examine him. Then cut him. Cut him now and the agent sends him to a DR. willing to say this that and the other and all of a sudden he has a better grievance for pay and bonus... [Reply]

Knowing Arians I doubt thats true. He probably said don't let the door hit you in the ass and anybody from here on that would sign him is a fool. Don't see him getting another job. [Reply]

And no "unsportsmanlike" or "taunting" penalty called?
Seems a bit odd.

Can't penalize him without it affecting Tom Brady. [Reply]
No one wants to go down this road. The phycological make up difference between offensive and defensive players. NFL makes it easier for offense, while defensive players has to have it just run off their backs
like water. Spags not wanting the defense to give up makes "some" sense. AB has some disadvantages. [Reply]
I've got the Packers coming out of the NFC at this point. The Bucs looked dominant just a handful of weeks ago, but their roster has taken a huge hit with injuries and now this. [Reply]
Full-blown scandal now. Arians should probably get a year suspension.
Outside surgeon confirms lingering Antonio Brown ankle injury; via @NFLSTROUD, there's a belief that Brown shouldn't have played at all on Sunday. https://t.co/b5ihM3BJAd
