It seems the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown is regretting his decision to walk off the field. The star has recently dipped his toes into the music industry and released an album for his fans. In the album, he spits bars about his abrupt departure and his affection for Tom Brady.

After leaving the field in the middle of the Week 17 match, Brown was completely sidelined by the franchise. On various occasions, Brown addressed his willingness to return, but it seems none of the teams have approached him so far.

Antonio Brown released a new music album

On Wednesday, Brown released a rap album titled “Paradigm.” It features some high-profile artists, including Fivio Foreign and Young Thug. In a rigorous tone, Brown raps the music spitting some unrevealed truth bombs for the fans. “Sorry, ran up off the field/I’m boomin’. Gotta get my money. I’m boomin'” Brown raps. He pointed at the walk-off incident and requested the contract incentives with the Buccaneers.

In 2021, Brown signed a one-year, $3.1 million contract, which included more than $916,000 in base salary, a $2 million signing bonus, and more than $370,000 in a roster bonus. Earlier, the Buccaneers GM Jason Licht told ESPN that the wide receiver and his agent requested the remaining $2 million in incentives as a part of his contract. However, the team declined Brown’s request.

Actually, this is not a coaching staff position at the National football league but a similar job at a more sophisticated platform, ‘FCFL’. As compared to the NFL, this format has fewer penalties and infuses more excitement into the game.

According to the league website, “FCF is pro football re-imagined for the modern digital world. Real games are played in a single, high-tech studio arena and streamed live on Twitch. Oh, and YOU call the plays.”
