It’s no secret that Tom Brady and Antonio Brown respect each other. Now, they may be teammates once again.

It was reported that the Seahawks were also interested in the disgruntled receiver, but it appears that Brown’s relationship with Tom Brady has prevailed.

AB said he’d love to play for Tampa Bay in the offseason.

“I’d be really grateful if I had the opportunity to play in Tampa Bay, to play anywhere,” Brown said on 102.5 The Bone’s Mike Calta Show in March. “Obviously to play with Tom Brady would be an extreme honor. You know his quality of leadership. You know, his [passion], the want to win. Anytime you can be around a guy like that, man, it’s an extreme honor. You know you’re going to have opportunity to do something exciting.”

It looks like Antonio Brown might get his wish. Brady wasn’t pleased after the Patriots cut Brown after just one game last season. Brady’s voice must carry a little more weight in his new organization.

AB would be joining an already stacked receiving core including Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Scottie Miller and veteran tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Antonio Brown does still have a pending sexual assault case with the NFL. That means that even though he’s eligible to return from suspension after week 8, he could still receive further punishment in the future.

For now, though, it sure looks like AB is headed to Tampa.
