Brown was making $3.1 million this season on a one-year deal. He had an opportunity to make an additional $1 million in bonus’ which he was close to obtaining. Brown was eight catches, 55 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown away from $333,333 bonuses for each.
Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians allegedly had Brown on a snap count for the game but had tried to get the wide receiver back into the game. When Brown refused, Arians told him to get out. Then the outburst happened.
Just talked to Bruce Arians who said he was trying to get AB to go into game & AB refused. Tried again Brown refused & Arians told him to get out. On if he saw AB take his jersey off.
“Yeah, I did. Never seen anything like it in all my years.” @NFLonFOX

After the outburst Brown left in a police car and in a post game conference Arians said that Brown was no longer a Buc.
