Antonio Brown Passes Physical Makes Bucs Deal Official. Wide receiver Antonio Brown passed his physical Tuesday morning and officially signed on for a second season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The exam had been delayed by Brown’s recent knee surgery.
Brown agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $6.25 million with the Buccaneers last month, but the deal had been on hold until he passed his physical.
