The world has been wanting to know who Tom Brady was talking about when the seven-time Super Bowl champion made a free agency admission during a recent episode of HBO’s The Shop.
Brady, who signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in free agency last year, admitted on The Shop that he couldn’t believe one team passed on him.
“One of the teams, they weren’t interested at the very end. I was thinking, ‘You’re sticking with that motherf–ker?’” Brady said.
According to Pro Football Talk, though, the “mystery” team might be the Las Vegas Raiders.
“In league circles, there’s one team that hasn’t been deeply thrust into the conversation, but perhaps should be: The Raiders. Multiple people with deep connections to the NFL’s matrix have reached out in the past 24 hours to express a belief that the unnamed team was the Raiders. Which, obviously, would make Derek Carr the unnamed “motherf–ker.”
As both sources explained it, the Raiders dropped out late in the process. As one source explained it, the Raiders thought Brady’s requests for extra things was over the top.”
Brady later admitted that he wouldn’t have played for the mystery team he was speaking about.

“When I look back I’m like, there’s no f–king way I would’ve went to that team,” Brady said. “But they said they didn’t want me. I know what that means, I know what that feels like. And I’m gonna go f–k you up because of that.”
Tampa Bay is scheduled to open the 2021 season on Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys.
