Antonio Brown just struck a chord with his former teammates again by hitting a line of controversy. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver is sitting out of the season after his controversial exit from the Bucs in 2022. But his break in the NFL doesn’t stop him from making headlines. 

The disputable star is still nursing a fresh wound from his time spent with Bruce Arians’ team. However, he isn’t reserved in letting the world know how he felt mistreated by the star QB Tom Brady and his former team. And now he’s back throwing shades at his former QB in one of his statements. 

Former Buccaneers’ WR Antonio Brown still holding grudges

Recently, Antonio Brown tweeted a post that threw fire at none other than Tom Brady, formerly the Buccaneers’ quarterback. He posted, “It be your own QB tell you this play for you then throw it else where.” He followed up the sentence with three laughing emojis. 

Everything changed for Antonio Brown during a match against the New York Jets at the MetLife Stadium. He left the game midway and walked off the field shirtless. His antics caused turmoil in the NFL and became a hot discussion around the whole football fraternity.

Antonio Brown and Tom Brady’s complicated relation

The 4-time First-Team All-Pro admitted that he has a football relationship with Tom Brady. He said that they don’t have “a lot in common besides being great at football.” But when Brown first joined the Bucs in 2020, it was the 7-time Super Bowl champion who took him under his wings.

Tom Brady gave Brown his family home for a temporary stay when he joined the New England Patriots and the Bucs later. However, elaborating their current status as former teammates, Brown said, “Life goes on, we don’t hate no one, there’s no negative energy… We all have a stint in each other’s life and life goes on.“
