Antonio Brown has hinted that 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 frequently 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 doctored photos of the supermodel as a means to antagonize the former quarterback.
However, the controversial sports personality has claimed that he has begun to make amends with the seven-time Super Bowl winner, suggesting his feud with Brady is over.
‘I think I talked with him two weeks ago,’ Brown revealed on Jason Whitlock’s ‘Fearless’ podcast.

‘I think it’s getting back cool. I think as men, you realize we all make mistakes and as people we all go through things and just trying to get through things. I think as men we grow.’
The former wideout also admitted that he made a mistake in regard to his online tirades.
‘I may not have done things right on my part in regards of the trauma I felt,’ he added. ‘I feel like he feels the same way in regards of the things he did. That’s a part of being human. We’ve both got to be men and admit our mistakes.
‘A lot of stuff I did online could have been handled a lot better. I don’t want to go back and bring up the past but I feel like as a man you know in your heart when you’re right with God in regard of 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 firing line.
The internet provocateur has frequently used the Brazilian model as a means to target his former teammate.
Brown antagonized Brady over his divorce from Gisele in 2022. He frequently posted photoshopped photos, suggesting that he’s having a romantic relationship with Brady’s ex.
Brady had encouraged the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to acquire the embattled Brown in 2020 amid accusations of sexual assault and harassment, which he has since settled out of court. He even allowed Brown to stay with him in preparation for the season.

A year earlier, Brady had pushed for the New England Patriots to sign Brown, only to have 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 continuously 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 one time ,’ Brown said when the host asked if he had ever met the Republican nominee.
‘You think Brady likes Trump but he can’t admit it?’ Whitlock asked. To which, Brown vehemently agreed, replying, ‘Yeah definitely’.
Trump himself has previously highlighted his connection with the former quarterback, hailing him as a ‘great guy’ and boasting about his endorsement shortly before his election in 2016.
Brady has also addressed his relationship with the former president in the past, opening up on their friendship in a 2015 interview WEEI.
The former wide receiver also suggested that Brady supports former president Donald Trump
‘Donald is a good friend of mine. I have known him for a long time. I support all my friends. That is what I have to say. He’s a good friend of mine. He’s always been so supportive of me.’
While Brown suggested that Brady was constrained in expressing his political stance, he had no issue expressing his own.
‘Nah, I like Donald Trump,’ he said. ‘I seen Joe Biden online. He was s***ing on himself and falling all over. I’m like, yo, what’s going on with him?
‘I want the world to be a better place and I feel like we can probably do better with Trump helping more businesses and coming back and taking over in 2024.’
