On Thursday, head coach Bruce Arians at the wide receiver's allegations, and the team officially released him.To review...On Sunday, Brown stripped off his helmet, jersey, shoulder pads and tank top andAfter the game, Arians said Brown was "no longer a Buc."On Monday, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported that and twice refused to enter the game, leading Arians to say "Get out."
