Terrell Owens Says Tom Brady Is Disrespectful

Owens had offered his services to Brady and the Buccaneers. He wanted to replace Antonio Brown, who was cut from the team for his actions. Owens recently appeared on The Volume’s The Bubba Dub Show. He called out the three-time NFL MVP for his behavior during the 2021-22 season.

Terrell had offered his services to Brady’s Buccaneers after the Antonio Brown saga. However, Ownes claimed Brady never responded to his offer. The 49ers Hall of Famer believes that was highly offensive coming from the 46-year-old. “Tom Brady ignored me, man,” he said.

Owens said he reached out to Brady through Randy Moss and a few others. But he never heard back from the 15-time Pro Bowler. “It just shows the lack of respect at the end of the day,” he joked. Owens also added that these players want to act like they respect you while confronting you.

Why Did Brown Abandon Brady and the Buccaneers?

Brown got into some trouble with the assistant coach during the Buccaneers’ Week 17 game against the Jets. He took off his helmet, jersey and shoulder pad and walked into the locker room shirtless. MetLife Stadium came alive during the spectacle.

Antonio’s actions sparked strong reactions from fans. Brown later revealed that he was unable to play because he was injured, but the coach did not listen to him. He then explained the conversation between him and his coach.

Brown said the coach came up to him and yelled at him while he was sitting on the sidelines. He asked him what was wrong with him. Brown said it was his ankle. He also said the coach knew this and it was well documented.

The coach then asked Brown to return to the field. When the athlete said he couldn’t, rather than call for medical help, the coach told him he was done. “Coach kept telling me if I didn’t play hurt, then I was done with the Bucs,” Browns said.
