Ryan Fitzpatrick believes he was that "motherf–ker" Tom Brady was talking about during a 2021 appearance on HBO's The Shop.

While discussing his 2020 free agency and how he eventually ended up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady said one team that expressed interest in him backed off in the end, which he couldn't believe.

Brady said: "One of the teams, they weren’t interested at the very end. I was thinking, ‘You’re sticking with that motherf–ker?'"
