Antonio Brown has hinted he is trying to make amends with Tom Brady following his online attacks on his former teammate.
The former wide receiver, who won a Super Bowl with Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has regularly launched a series of attacks on his former teammate, blaming him for the end of his NFL career.
Brown has used Brady’s ex-wife Gisele Bundchen and faked photos of the supermodel as a means to antagonize the former quarterback.
However, the controversial sports personality claims he is trying to make amends with the seven-time Super Bowl winner, suggesting his feud with Brady is over.
“I think I talked to him two weeks ago,” Brown further revealed Jason Whitlock’s ‘Fearless’ podcast.

“I think it’s going to be cool again. I think as men you realize that we all make mistakes and as humans we all go through things and just try to get through it. I think we’re growing as men.”
The former wideout also admitted that he made a mistake regarding his online rants.
“Maybe I didn’t do things right on my part regarding the trauma I felt,” he added. “I feel like he feels the same way when it comes to the things he did. That’s part of being human. We both have to be men and admit our mistakes.
‘A lot of things I did online could have been handled much better. I don’t want to go back and bring up the past, but I feel like as a man you know deep in your heart if you’re right before God when it comes to the things I could have done better.”
Brown has a controversial history on social media, with the NFL legend and his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen previously finding themselves in his line of fire.
The internet provocateur has frequently used the Brazilian model as a means to target his former teammate.
Brown has antagonized Brady over his divorce from Gisele in 2022. He has frequently posted photoshopped photos, suggesting he is in a romantic relationship with Brady’s ex.
Brady had encouraged the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to acquire the embattled Brown in 2020 amid allegations of sexual assault and harassment, which he has since settled out of court. He even let Brown stay with him to prepare for the season.

A year earlier, Brady had pushed for the New England Patriots to sign Brown, but the team cut him after one game when the sexual misconduct allegation first surfaced.
But Brown has attacked his former teammate, with the troubled star continually blaming Brady for the end of his career.
The conversation with Whitlock later turned political, with Brown endorsing Donald Trump over President Joe Biden before suggesting Brady’s own political alliance lay with the Republican candidate.
“I talked to him on the phone with Brady once,” Brown said when the host asked if he had ever met the Republican candidate.
“Do you think Brady likes Trump but can’t admit it?” Whitlock asked. To which Brown wholeheartedly agreed, replying, “Yes, definitely.”
Trump himself has previously emphasized his connection to the former quarterback, praising him as a “great guy” and bragging about his support shortly before his 2016 election.
Brady has also discussed his relationship with the former president in the past, discussing their friendship in a 2015 interview with WEEI.
The former wide receiver also suggested that Brady supports former President Donald Trump
‘Donald is a good friend of mine. I’ve known him for a long time. I support all my friends. That’s what I have to say. He’s a good friend of mine. He has always been so supportive of me.”
Although Brown suggested that Brady was limited in expressing his political views, he had no problem expressing his own.
“No, I love Donald Trump,” he said. “I saw Joe Biden online. He was fucking and completely fell over. I think: what’s wrong with him?
“I want the world to be a better place and I feel like we can probably do better if Trump helps more companies and comes back in 2024 and takes over.”
