Antonio Gibson’s wife Victoria Gibson takes a jab at the Patriots after they release her husband

The New England Patriots made headlines this week but not just for their on-field moves. The team’s decision to release running back Antonio Gibson has sparked a social media firestorm, led by his wife, Victoria Gibson, whose recent posts are being interpreted as direct "jabs" at the organization.

Gibson, a key special teams player and versatile running back, was released by the Patriots. This move saved the team over $3 million in cap space, a common "business decision" in the NFL. However, the timing has raised eyebrows, as Gibson is currently recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 5 of the 2025 season.

Patriots Fans React to Victoria Gibson’s "Work" Reel Following Antonio’s Release

Victoria Gibson, known for her engaging "NFL wife" content on Instagram and TikTok, has wasted no time in sharing her feelings. Her recent posts, while not directly naming the Patriots, are clearly aimed at the organization in the most fun way possible.




One particular video has gone viral, perfectly capturing the sentiment. In the clip, Victoria is seen lip-syncing to Drake's "Work" while proudly showing off her meticulously painted nails. The standout detail? Her nails feature Patriots logos and even a portrait of Antonio himself. The video quickly gained a lot of attention with many fans highlighting the striking irony: a wife showing unwavering support for her husband and his team, just as that team cuts him loose.



With three children and a fourth on the way, the move from Massachusetts adds another layer of stress and emotion to an already challenging situation.

The social media reaction has been mixed. Many fans are rallying behind the Gibsons, criticizing the Patriots for what they see as a lack of loyalty to an injured player who contributed significantly to the team. Antonio was even named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week earlier in the season before his injury. These supporters believe the team should have shown more compassion.

On the other hand, some fans argue that the Patriots' decision is purely a business one. With a crowded backfield and the need to manage the salary cap, releasing an injured player with no guaranteed money left is a common, albeit tough, move in the NFL.

Regardless of where fans stand, Victoria Gibson’s candid posts have ignited a conversation about the human side of the NFL. Her "jabs" are more than just social media drama, they are a raw, relatable look at the personal impact of professional sports decisions. As Antonio Gibson begins his search for a new team, his wife's viral commentary ensures this story will continue to capture attention far beyond the football field.
