“[Seau] knew what? He wasn’t right,” Brown said. “No one’s going to feel right when you’ve been freakin’ playing 16 years. You’ve been putting your life on the line for this organization, this league, this game. And after a while, people stash you away and act like you don’t matter anymore? That’s what Tampa Bay just did to me. They acted like I didn’t matter anymore. Like, ‘If you can’t run for us, get the f— out of here.’
“And people was laughing at me for running off the field with[out] my shirt? Bro, what would you have done if the coach you told before the game that you were hurt and couldn’t play, brought you on the field or treat[ed] you like a pawn? That’s why these guys are getting CTE because they’re carrying that in their mental space.”
