Brown, who believes the Buccaneers training staff covered up the severity an ankle injury he suffered last season. He claims that during a week 17 contest against the New York Jets, the Buccaneers coaching staff tried to put him in the game and Brown refused. He was then released by the team and cleared waivers without anyone signing him. 

Brown also called out Brady's personal trainer, Alex Guerrero, who also partners with Brady to run his branded health program and physical therapy center called "TB12". Brown claims that Guerrero is not treating athletes properly and still collecting large pay days.
