Ever since Tom Brady signed with Tampa Bay Buccaneers, rumors circled that veteran wide receiver Antonio Brown might follow in his footsteps. Brady and Brown briefly played together in 2019 with New England Patriots, and rumors say that two players would be interested in a reunion. According to Bucs head coach Bruce Arians, however, this won’t happen.
Arians recently made an appearance on CBS Sports Network’s Tiki and Tierney where he was asked about the possibility of bringing Brown to Tampa Bay.
“Yeah, it’s not gonna happen,” said Arians. “There’s no room. And probably not enough money. But it’s not gonna happen — it’s not a fit here.”
When pressed for further explanation, Arians admitted that the decision is down to the fact that he doesn’t see Brown fitting into the Bucs’ locker room.
“Yeah, I just know him, and — it’s not a fit in our locker room,” – he added.
Antonio Brown had a tremulous 2019 NFL season, which he split between the Raiders and Patriots, but ended up playing just one game in Week 2. Brown spent the rest of the year out of the league after his previous inappropriate off-the-field behavior came to light.
Brown recently expressed his belief that he will play in 2020 and even told the media that he wouldn’t mind catching passes from Brady once again. Following Arians’ recent comments, however, that seems like a longshot.
