Report: Teams interested in Brady believe QB wants Brown reunion
The Tom Brady-Antonio Brown connection was short-lived, but it might restart with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Suitors for Brady were under the impression that the former New England Patriots quarterback wants the wide receiver to join him, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Brown's status is still under review by the NFL after allegations of sexual assault and sexual misconduct were made against him, added Pelissero.
The 31-year-old played one game for the Patriots in 2019. He caught one touchdown pass from Brady before being released after a woman who alleged Brown made an unwanted sexual advance toward her in 2017 said she received "intimidating" texts from the receiver.
Brady was apparently against New England moving on from Brown, who has since gone on an apology tour in an apparent attempt to get back into the league.
The players' friendship has seemingly continued, with the two often interacting on social media.
With the quarterback reportedly set to join the Buccaneers and play with the top wideout duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, a potential Brown addition would arguably give the NFC South team the best receiving corps in the league.
