Antonio Brown

Tom Pelissero retweeted a video of Antonio Brown telling TMZ Sports that he still has not undergone ankle surgery and will not do so unless a team commits to signing him.

The 33-year-old wide receiver dramatically ended last season, but he still tallied 545 receiving yards and four touchdowns in seven games. Teams' interest in Brown is unknown, and now, with this new surgery wrinkle added to the equation, it remains to be seen if this is the end of the road for him.

In a recent interview with HBO Sports, Antonio Brown said the Buccaneers offered him $200,000 in order to encourage him to seek mental health treatment.

During the interview, Brown insinuated that a defamation lawsuit could be coming against the Buccaneers. Brown was cut from the team after leaving the field during the regular season game against the Jets. Brown has remained in the news since, recently celebrating after the Buccaneers' defeat against the Rams this weekend. It's hard to imagine Brown returning to the field in the near future, but of course we've said that in the past.

Per the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team has terminated the contract of veteran WR Antonio Brown.

Fantasy Impact

After a confusing exit in the middle of Week 17's game and several days of back and forth accusations by Brown and the Bucs, Tampa Bay has now officially terminated Brown's contract. The original incident stemmed from disagreement surrounding Brown's ankle injury which he believed was too serious to play on while the Bucs had it cleared by team doctors. This likely won't be the last time we hear about this issue as there could very well be legal action by Brown if he so chooses to pursue that option based on his comments earlier in the week.

Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown appeared to take himself out of Sunday's game against the Jets.

With the Bucs trailing by two scores, Brown removed his jersey and undershirt in the middle of the game, ran shirtless through the end zone, and then disappeared down the tunnel. He has not returned to the contest, leaving his status for the rest of Week 17 in doubt. Tampa Bay is hurting right now with Leonard Fournette and Chris Godwin on IR, Mike Evans limited due to injury, Ronald Jones questionable to return, and Brown's status in doubt, too.

Buccaneers WR Antonio Brown (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 17 game vs the New York Jets barring a pre-game setback.

Fantasy Impact

With so many injuries to the Tampa Bay wide receiving corps and the cakewalk of a matchup against an inexperienced New York secondary, the wily veteran Brown figures to be a solid WR1 candidate for fantasy managers this week.
