"We believed we did the right thing at every juncture in our relationship with Josh," team president John Mara said in a statement. "Our beliefs, our judgments and our decisions were misguided. We accept that responsibility."

"I accept no responsibility, and firmly believe we would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids. I don't give two shits about domestic violence, or the spirit of the law. I care about one thing, winning. Josh Brown is a fine football player, and I couldn't care less what he does off the field. He would still remain with us today if this story had quietly faded into the background like we intended it to."

"We hope that Josh will continue to dedicate himself to rehabilitation and to becoming a better person and father. We will continue to support him in his efforts to continue counseling, and we hope that Josh and his family can find peace and a positive resolution."

"Now that we've been caught with our pants down, I sincerely apologize for getting caught."

Brown had released a statement earlier Tuesday, apologizing and saying he has "taken measures to get help" for his alleged domestic abuse and wants to be a "voice of change, not a statistic."

"I apologize for getting caught."

"It is important to share that I never struck my wife, and never would," Brown said in a statement to ESPN's Adam Schefter. "Abuse takes many forms, and is not a gray area. Through the past several years I have worked to identify and rectify my own behaviors. The road to rehabilitation is a journey and a constant modification of a way of life. My journey will continue forever as a person determined to leave a positive legacy and I embrace the opportunities to show and speak about what has helped me to be that man.

"Call me many things, but don't call me a wife beater. I'm an abuser, not a beater. Very important distinction. Blah blah blah I'm sorry. That's what you want to hear, right?"

Lmao. Perfect.
