Tom Brady remembers the teams that passed on him in free agency.
In a preview for Friday’s “The Shop” on HBO Max, Brady throws a jab at an unnamed quarterback an NFL squad decided to keep, instead of signing him before the 2020 season.
“One of the teams, they weren’t interested at the very end. I was thinking, ‘You’re sticking with that motherf–ker?’” Brady recalls in the clip, laughing.
LeBron James and Maverick Carter had a good laugh over Brady’s comment, as did guests Draymond Green of the Warriors, rapper Kid Cudi and comedian Chelsea Handler.
Brady’s cryptic comment could’ve been about any one of several teams interested in him before he signed a two-year $50 million contract with the Buccaneers in March 2020. The Raiders, Bears, Chargers, Titans and 49ers were all involved in the chase.
If that’s the case, the seven-time Super Bowl champion‘s “mother-f—ker” comment could’ve been about quarterbacks Mitch Trubisky, Derek Carr, Justin Herbert, Ryan Tannehill, or his former Patriots backup Jimmy Garoppolo, respectively.
Trubisky signed a one-year deal with the Bills in March.
When Brady decided to part ways with the Patriots after 20 years under coach Bill Belichick and six Super Bowl rings, ESPN’s Dianna Russini reported that “Brady is a lot more interested in teams than teams are actually interested in Tom Brady.”
It’s unclear if the Buccaneers quarterback will name the mystery team that passed on him when the full episode airs Friday at 9:30 p.m. Though the spurn clearly has stayed with Brady, he likely has few regrets after he won a Super Bowl with the Buccaneers in February.
The Buccaneers extended Brady’s contract this offseason in a deal that will keep the future Hall of Famer in Tampa through the 2022 season, when all of Tampa’s Super Bowl starters return to the team.
