On Sunday, against Carolina, Tom Brady refused to leave the field unless Rob Gronkowski got at least one more reception. Gronk needed one more reception to get the $500k incentive bonus. When the head coach Bruce Arians tried to take Brady off the field, he said, “You’re not taking me out.” After this, Brady put his helmet back on and went to throw the ball. He connected with Gronkowski and made him eligible for the bonus.
Rob is on yards and receptions incentives for the season. Both the categories get him $500,000 each. Gronk made seven catches for 137 yards and completed both for a grand total of $1 million. The tight end has finished this season with 55 catches for 802 yards along with six touchdowns. After Gronk hit the mark, Brady agreed to take a seat and let Blaine Gabbert complete the game.

So it seems like, despite the questions, Tom Brady would have done the same for Antonio Brown.
