Antonio Brown is formally on the investing block, as he initially described on his Twitter account Tuesday and was afterwards verified by several outlets. Now the query is where the seven-time Professional Bowler will wind up.
Down below are some alternatives of teams that have cap house and are in have to have of a No. 1 extensive receiver:
49ers
Brown has created it crystal clear he would not mind going to the Bay Place. He has posted a image of himself in a 49ers uniform becoming embraced by Jerry Rice. The Hall of Fame extensive receiver previously has explained Brown required to play for San Francisco, which has a franchise quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, who could make Brown pleased. Brown could get that offense — which also incorporates young standouts Jerick McKinnon at operating back and George Kittle at tight conclude — to an additional degree.
Jets
Sam Darnold wants a No. 1 receiver, and the free-agent current market at the posture is woeful. Continue to, the Jets have a great deal of holes to fill, and you surprise if common supervisor Mike Maccagnan would be willing to give up ample draft picks to make a offer transpire. Also, do the Jets genuinely want to increase a opportunity locker-place menace in Brown when they have to have to adjust the tradition?
Colts
Indianapolis is in win-now manner, and pairing Brown with T.Y. Hilton would give the Colts just one of the leading extensive receiver duos in the sport. Continue to, Brown may not in shape with the tradition mentor Frank Reich, entering his second period, is setting up. Typical supervisor Chris Ballard would like to increase a “difference maker” this offseason, but only if it’s the appropriate player and man or woman.
“He’s gotta in shape into our tradition. He has to in shape in to doing issues appropriate. He has to in shape in about becoming group-initially. He has to be accountable to his teammates,” Ballard a short while ago told the team’s web-site. “They have to in shape that criteria.”
Cardinals
Like the Jets, the Cardinals have a young quarterback they have to have to encompass with weapons. Brown could do miracles for Josh Rosen. But for a group that is not near to profitable, does it make perception to give up property for Brown at this time?
Patriots
This may be a reach, but they did reportedly test to trade for Odell Beckham Jr. very last summer season, and they would naturally like to improve the relaxation of Tom Brady’s vocation. What improved way than to give him a true No. 1 receiver? It absolutely labored out perfectly with Randy Moss years ago.
The substantial problem: CBS Sporting activities has described there’s no way the rivals would make the trade, with Pittsburgh and New England consistently in struggle for the AFC.
