Tom Brady is one of the most highly-respected individuals around the NFL after everything he accomplished during his playing days, but it sounds like NFL legend Terrell Owens is not happy with him for the way that he treated him a few years ago when he tried to make a comeback to the league.
During a recent appearance on the Bubba Dub Show, Terrell Owens claimed that Tom Brady “ignored” him when he tried to come out of retirement in 2021 and join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their playoff run following the abrupt departure of wide receiver Antonio Brown.
“Tom Brady ignored me,” Owens said according to Pro Football Talk. “The year that AB went crazy . . . they just needed somebody to fill some holes with AB leaving at the receiver position. I reached out to him through Randy and some other people, just to come in and play third down and red zone situations. This dude ignored me. It just shows you the lack of respect there, but then when they get in front of you they want to act like they respect you.”
It’s worth noting that at the time, Owens was 48 years old and had last played in an NFL game a decade before. But Owens clearly took Brady’s silence as a sign of disrespect.
