Upon learning he'd posted the Instagram photo, the Buccaneers encouraged Winston to remove it from his account, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. He has since done so, but ESPN's Ed Werder reports that the Bucs deny having anything to do with the decision:
#Bucs deny they encouraged, ordered, advised, demanded, suggested or otherwise influenced Jameis Winston to delete crab-leg Twitter photo.

The photo is a not-so-subtle hat tip to an incident in which Winston shoplifted crab legs from a Publix in 2014.
