Everyone is awaiting the decision from Tom Brady in free agency, but he could be bringing someone with him wherever he signs. While the NFL Combine was being completed, reports have surfaced that Brady and Antonio Brown could be a packaged deal in free agency.
According to Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, people close to Brown have said that Brady keeps in contact with the troubled wideout. Amid their conversations, Brady has reportedly told Brown he wants to play with him next season.
Of course, with Brown being involved, this development shouldn't be taken seriously yet. Unless Brady says it himself, it's tough to believe that the veteran signal-caller is clamoring to play with Brown again.
Early in the 2019 season, Brown signed with the New England Patriots following his sudden release from the Las Vegas Raiders. However, he would only spend one game with the team. The Patriots would release Brown after there were sexual assault allegations made against him.
In his lone game with the Patriots, Brown and Brady had an obvious connection on the field. Despite having less than a week to practice, Brown was able to haul in four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown from Brady.
For a team to take a chance on Brown, he would have to prove he's ready to set aside his antics. At the same time, an endorsement from Brady could be what is needed for him to continue his NFL career.
Nearly two weeks from now, free agency will begin and we will have a better idea of where Brady is going to play in 2020. On the other hand, it remains to be seen if Brown will be joining him next season.
