Antonio Brown‘s bridge-burning clearly didn’t end on Sunday with his departure from the Bucs — ’cause on Friday, he took some major shots at Tom Brady that could signal the end of that relationship too.
The embattled wide receiver joined the “FULL SEND PODCAST” this week … and it didn’t take long for him to begin shading his former Tampa Bay quarterback.
Brown said he was annoyed with Brady over his “prove-it” contract with the Bucs, explaining he thinks the signal-caller should have helped him get paid like Rob Gronkowski.
“If Tom Brady’s my boy, why am I playing for an earnest salary?” Brown said. “You my boy, though, right? Gronkowski is his boy, right? How much did he get paid? So, why is AB on a prove-it deal? Who’s better than me over there? Let’s be real!”
Brown also chided the Full Send guys — and other members of the media — for constantly praising Brady … saying, “Brady can’t do s*** by himself.”
“But, you guys going to make it seem like he’s just this heroic guy,” Brown added. “Bro, we all humans. Bro, we’re all dependent on somebody else to do the job.”
Brown then railed against the QB over his targets in Tampa … pointing out that Ben Roethlisberger threw him the football far more than Brady ever did.
“Does Tom Brady throw me the ball like Ben Roethlisberger?” Brown said. “Let’s be honest.”
Brown had claimed over the past few years that he and Brady had a good relationship … with AB calling the quarterback his friend on numerous different occasions.
For Brady’s part, he hasn’t said much about AB since he was released … largely sidestepping the drama at his meeting with media members on Thursday.
