Miami coach Adam Gase has delivered a stinging critique on Jarvis Landry's behaviour in the NFL season finale, leaving the excitable receiver's return to the Dolphins doubtful for 2018.
Landry and teammate Kenyan Drake were ejected following a fourth-quarter brawl on Sunday with the Buffalo Bills.
Gase said the fight was embarrassing, and that the team's best players needed better self-control in the heat of the moment.
Landry, who led the NFL with 112 receptions, can become a free agent this offseason.
He has said he wants to remain with the Dolphins and they've said they want him back, but his volatile personality is a cause for concern for a team that went 6-10 in part due to a lack of discipline.
"This last game was probably the pinnacle of what I've ever seen with him during a game," Gase said.
"I don't think I've ever seen it get to a level where it was extremely bad. But the last game was about as embarrassing as I've seen in a long time. It was something we can't have happen."
Landry said he was defending himself in the fight but acknowledged the ejections hurt the Dolphins' comeback bid. They trailed 22-9 at the time and lost 22-16 .
Landry's latest meltdown will be something to consider in deciding his future with Miami, Gase said.
"You can't take one isolated incident and overreact, but at the same time we've got to make sure we look at everything we've been doing over the last couple of years," the coach said.
"You look at the body of work and see what direction we want to go."
