"Jay, I play football. This is what I do," Glazer said Crosby told him. "I’ve had a knee injury since like Week 3. I played with it the entre time. They told me (they would) shut me down.

Glazer said the decision just "wasn’t acceptable" to Crosby.

Crosby posted a video on his Instagram Stories on Saturday night playing basketball and jumping on a trampoline in what seemed to be a clear message directed at the franchise.
