Antonio Brown’s Glove From MetLife Stadium Exit Up for Auction
The glove that former Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown threw into the crowd during his bizarre stadium exit against the Jets in early January is now up for auction.

The auction ends on Feb. 12, the day before the Super Bowl.

Brown made headlines with his stadium exit mid-game, which was the last time he played in a Tampa Bay uniform. He was released shortly after the game.
Since the incident, Brown has said the reason for his frustration was he felt he was too injured to play, and that the Tampa Bay staff disagreed and thought he was healthy enough to take the field.
Brown has threatened to sue the Buccaneers for incentives in his contract that he feels should have been guaranteed. To date, no official lawsuit has been filed, and Brown remains a free agent.
It will be interesting to see whether a team elects to take a chance on Brown heading into next season.
For now, though, the biggest story surrounding him may be what price the infamous glove will eventually sell for at auction.
