NFL star Antonio Brown left the field shirtless and has had his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut short

Troubled NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has taken to social media following his wild in-game exit on Sunday that ended his tenure with the current Super Bowl holders.

To his 6 million followers on Instagram, ‘AB’ posted a photo of himself in his Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniform.

It showed the 33-year-old in action just after a catch and came with the caption: “Big Mad (Making a Difference).”

“Thanks for the opportunity,” he signed off, with emojis of a ‘Hang Loose’ hand and a wasp.

Brown’s latest moment of madness occurred as the Bucs were trailing 24-10 on the road to the struggling New York Jets.

According to Bucs coach Bruce Arians, he had advised Brown to enter the game twice and was refused by the two-time receiving yards leader, forcing Arians to tell him to “get out”.

Stripping off his shirt and pads, Brown did just that by walking across the end zone to the locker room while greeting fans. 

“He is no longer a Buc,” confirmed Arians following the 28-24 win. 

“That is the end of the story, Let’s talk about the guys who went out there and won the game,” demanded the 69-year-old.

Elsewhere, star quarterback Tom Brady lamented that “we want to see him be at his best and unfortunately it won’t be with our team.”

“We have a lot of friendships that will last. I think everyone should be very compassionate and empathetic toward some very difficult things that are happening,” the seven-time NFL champion added.

One reporter claimed that Brown had been escorted by police from the MetLife Stadium to take a separate flight back to Florida from New York than the rest of the team.

Yet footage that has emerged elsewhere appears to show AB in good spirits.

Uploading the same photo to both Instagram and Twitter describing himself as a “Super Gremlin”, he shared a picture with a security guard to his Instagram stories which showed the pair together and Brown smiling in the same all-black attire with a suitcase in tow.

It was in this attire that Brown was papped on the streets looking at his phone and waiting for a ride, and later a clip of Brown in a taxi almost blew up more than some instances of the original incident too.

Seen almost 3 million times, the New York City-based driver identified as Danny Chalet starts by saying “going out viral here is nothing. Short but viral.”
