Antonio Browns Delivers Message To Patriots After Cutting Him From The Team
The New England Patriots decided to cut ties with Antonio Brown. Moments before the superstar wide receiver was released, he thanked the team for the opportunity he was given.
“The New England Patriots are releasing Antonio Brown. We appreciate the hard work of many people over the past 11 days, but we feel that it is best to move in a different direction at this time,” the team said following the decision.
Brown shared several posts following the initial post. His lawyer addressed the decision, and used the opportunity to express his hope to see Brown sign with a different team.
“It’s unfortunate things didn’t work out with the Patriots. But Antonio is healthy and is looking forward to his next opportunity in the NFL. He wants to play the game he loves and he hopes to play for another team soon.”
Head coach Bill Belichick didn’t want to discuss Brown’s situation Friday. He said, “I know there are questions about Antonio. We take all the situations with our team very seriously. There are some things that we’re looking into. But I’m not going to have any comment on any of the off-the-field situations or questions on that.”
“I think I’ve already addressed this, so we’re going to get ready for the Jets here,” Belichick said when reporters kept asking questions about Brown. “Happy to answer any football questions. The rest of it … I’m done with the rest of it.”
Judge wasn’t available for comments either.
“I think that’s a better question for coach Belichick,” said Judge, who also coordinates New England’s special teams. “I appreciate the question, and I understand where you’re coming from with it. I think as a position coach, an assistant coach and a coordinator, my job is to focus more on the football and get everybody ready to play.
“When you’re talking ball and you’re with him, he loves it,” Judge said. “He’s very engaged. He’s very energetic. He brings a great new perspective to a lot of things we’ve done from his experience elsewhere, and he’s been fun to work with and learn from.”
