Tom Brady Likes Antonio Brown's Patriots-Themed IG Post Amid Rumors of Potential Return

Antonio Brown remains apparently adamant about his desire to return to the New England Patriots despite burning a plethora of organizational bridges over the past months.

Rumors ensued -- a petition was even created -- to help convince the franchise to re-sign the embattled wideout. Given the fact that Tom Brady's receiving corps became even more depleted on Thursday night with Josh Gordon's knee injury will only see the murmurs get louder.

Well, it would appear that TB12 himself is one of the culprits fueling the buzz, as the six-time Super Bowl champ went out of his way to like a Patriots-oriented Instagram post straight from AB.

What makes Mr. Big Chest's post all the more alluring is the fact that the threw it up roughly an hour before New England kicked off against the Giants on Thursday Night Football.

Can somebody, anybody please tell us what this all means? If you can manage to read between the lines of Brown's occasional lunacy, more power to you. Who is Wolverine supposed to represent in this situation, anyway?

As we know, however, Brady reportedly wasn't at all pleased with Robert Kraft's and Bill Belichick's decision to part ways with Brown. So there's that.

Just a few weeks ago, Brady liked and then un-liked a Patriots-themed Instagram post featuring Brown. Are the two stars in cahoots behind the scenes?

We honestly have no idea as to what any of this social activity means, but it's certainly bound to get the rumors ratcheted up. There's just no way that the Patriots even entertain the though of bringing in Brown for round two... right?
