At least 20 teams are interested in Antonio Brown

[Rock Strongo]

There are at least 20 teams, including almost every potential playoff squad, seriously interested in signing wide receiver Antonio Brown.

That's according to three general managers who were asked which teams they believed might sign the former Steeler, Raider and Patriot, who is in football stasis as the NFL investigates sexual assault allegations. The only potential playoff team the executives believed would not sign Brown was New England, which dumped him earlier this season.

Teams largely believe Brown is still a transformational talent on the field. Indeed, Brown's 841 career receptions are the second-most of any receiver, behind Larry Fitzgerald's 844, since he entered the NFL in 2010.


Antonio Brown's Future Is in Limbo, but Interest from NFL Teams in Him Is Not

Maybe they figure he can manage to not fuck up for like two months

 

[CaptainStubing]

no thanks

 

[Brees#1]

I think he could be useful for the Saints with the notion the team knows he's temporary and won't affect the chemistry.

Which pixel in that piece is Brown?

Proven great talent will take you a long way in this league...I think now understands that proven great talent won't take you very far when you're being accused in multiple DV issues.

Any team that signs Brown gets what it deserves.

It was great when that suitcase nuke blew up in NE after what he pulled in Oakland.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

lol

For real though, off-the-ball LB is... oof.

the best part care of freeman:

"There are teams disgusted by what he's doing," one AFC general manager said.

Still, the GM admitted, "He is drawing a lot of interest, [but] a lot of teams wish he would just shut up."

If Brown could just stay off Twitter and stop doin' it for the 'Gram, every team would eventually try to sign him, the same GM said. That's how valuable he is to many franchises.

Why not sing him, there is no real moral fiber in the NFL anyway.

Likely has a long suspension to serve before getting back to the field. So it will be almost a couple of years off the field with no camp work either and he's going to be 32 in June. Still will most likely draw some interest, but the interest will be luke warm IMO, doubt any team wants to risk any large amount of money in a aging WR who hasn't hardly been in a camp much less a game for a long while. Who's also a powder keg with a big mouth. My guess is it depends how little money he'll accept to get back on the field. If it a small enough amount maybe someone signs him.
Who here hopes he lands on the team you root for ? I know I don't want to see him in a Seahawks jersey ever. I could see a team like the Jets being interested maybe. So some desperate type of team perhaps.

He got relatively big bucks this year for nothing.

Should be able to work cheaply next year.

I think I'd still think hard about bringing him back in NE if I was them.

What's the worst that could happen? Paying him already.

Are the Pats paying him ? Thought they got to keep their money.
