With all of the drama surrounding Antonio Brown and the Oakland Raiders, NFL fans are reminded of another elite-level wide receiver who also had some issues with playing for the Silver and Black: Randy Moss.
As you may recall, Moss was traded to the Oakland Raiders in 2005 and was immediately a cancer in the team’s locker room, posting some of the worst numbers of his 14-year career.
You may also recall that despite Moss being a bad teammate in Oakland, Bill Belichick and the Patriots were more than happy to have him and in his first with New England Moss went off for 98 catches, 1,493 yards, and scored an astonishing 23 touchdowns.
So, naturally, people on the internet are just assuming what all NFL fans believe to be inevitable: Antonio Brown will be joining the Patriots at some point in the near future.
And why wouldn’t they? Brown and Tom Brady loooooooove each other.
Missed this from earlier this week but @AB84 Antonio Brown shared a private DM from #Patriots QB Tom Brady that was sent in September.

By the way, this whole helmet ordeal? This isn’t the first time AB has received attention for not wearing a helmet.

Anyway, on to the jokes about Brown ending up with the Patriots.
Antonio Brown’s plot to end up with the Patriots is pure genius.

This all ends with Antonio Brown on the Patriots, doesn't it?

If the #Raiders end up releasing Antonio Brown and the #Patriots are interested in signing him, this is how I assume the meeting will go between Brown [DiCaprio], Belichick [Wahlberg] and Kraft [Sheen]https://t.co/SAdnJbrwAq

Antonio Brown will bomb out on the Raiders just like Randy Moss did. Then there will be this whole contrition tour after the Patriots inevitably sign him, and then he'll have 38 TD catches the next season.
