5 NFC teams who could become instant contenders with Antonio Brown

3. New York Giants

It’s sort of amazing to take into consideration that a team like the New York Giants with Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley to work with couldn’t compete for a playoff spot in 2018, even if the wideout wasn’t fully healthy.

Hopefully with a fresh start to a new year, the Giants will finally be able to earn a trip to the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season, which of course is always easier said than done for any team.

As for Brown, the thought alone of the wideout playing alongside Beckham would draw all sorts of red flags for some of the unnecessary drama alone they bring to the table, but it could be worth it.

Since current signs point to New York sticking with Eli Manning for at least another year, the Giants want to put the two-time Super Bowl MVP in the best position possible to add another ring to his collection.

If an offense consisting of Beckham, Barkley, and Brown isn’t good enough to help the Giants return to the postseason, then all hope would really seem lost for this team since the talent alone on offense would be insane to witness each week.
