Antonio Brown Strikes at the Opportunity of Tom Brady’s Desperate Need for a WR

Published 12/16/2022, 12:13 PM EST

It’s been more than a year since Antonio Brown pulled off some major theatrical skills and skipped off the field shirtless. And everyone thought the star wide receiver’s playing days were over with his music career hitting off the full swing. However, a recent tweet from the former Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay wide receiver has thrown the NFL world slightly off.

The 2021 Super Bowl winner with the Buccaneers, Antonio Brown, believes that quarterback Tom Brady is struggling with the current roster in his receiving department. And the blowout 35-7 loss last Sunday to the San Francisco 49ers has just solidified that belief. Tom Brady couldn’t get his favorite tight end, Rob Gronkowski, to come back and help him. However, AB might be up for it.

When a Twitter user commented on one of AB’s posts that maybe Tom Brady could use his help at Tampa Bay, Antonio Brown retweeted with the signature emoji dance move that says ‘put that shit on’, Brown’s near viral song. The tweet has been deleted now. And that doesn’t seem to be the worst idea considering the lacklustre season TB12 is having with his WRs Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones.

Fans gave mixed reactions to Antonio Brown deciding to help Brady out

Antonio Brown isn’t exactly known to be the best team player in a potential Super Bowl-winning franchise. He has previously had public spats with his previous quarterbacks, including Pittsburgh Steelers legend and Super Bowl winner Ben Roethlisberger. Although AB didn’t have an on-field altercation with Brady, Brown may have buried his Florida comeback with the controversial tweets he made about Brady’s former wife, Gisele Bündchen.

Some fans think Antonio Brown is not someone they can really count on. And they don’t want him coming back since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers still top the NFC South Division with their 6-7 record.

Yeah, but one that don’t quit!

You’re too good for Brady

45-year-old Tom Brady is not at his usual dominating level when it comes to finding his receivers this season. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has 17 touchdowns in the season. And the legendary QB ranks 23rd in ESPN’s QBR ratings after Week 14. And maybe Brady could bury the online hatchet and accept Antonio Brown’s help to secure that 8th ring.
