For the first time since he was cut by the Los Angeles Rams, former NFL running back Tre Mason has spoken about his recent troubles.

The Rams parted ways with Mason in March 2017. Last season, he was not in touch with the franchise. He was arrested in January 2017 and in March 2016, when he was tasered and subdued.

Mason reportedly went missing, and his mom shared troubling thoughts about him. However, we recently learned he was working on his NFL comeback. Former Rams coach Jeff Fisher said he was more concerned about Mason’s well-being than him as a football player.

In a recent interview, Mason had some interesting words for his former team (via Bleacher Report):

“How would they call it nowadays? Fake news. ‘Oh, we just hope he’s OK.’ You come to Florida and find out. Fly your ass down. Sit next to me right on this beach, eat some food and you’ll see. You tell me. I’m not going to sugarcoat for nobody. If you’re really worried about me, fly your ass down.”

After Mason had an impressive rookie season, the Rams drafted Todd Gurley, who played the same position as Mason. He told Bleacher Report he was promised more carries than he was given and felt like a fool on the sidelines.

Mason also reportedly called the Rams a “clown show” multiple times during the interview. He says he never went missing, worked out with teammates in South Florida and never received a call from the team.

While the report often painted Mason in a good light, one aspect of the story was particularly concerning. When he agreed to meet up for another session for a continued interview, he failed to show up on three separate occasions.
