5 NFC teams who could become instant contenders with Antonio Brown

2. Green Bay Packers

While the first three teams mentioned may seem more like a land shot to land Brown, the Green Bay Packers seem to be one of those teams with a strong chance to land the receiver in a trade, especially with two first-round picks to work with in April’s draft.

Normally, the Packers are one of those teams that always seem to be a lock for a playoff spot in the NFC since Aaron Rodgers is one of the best in the league for a reason, but Green Bay has failed to make the postseason in each of the last two years.

Now that Mike McCarthy, who many believe was holding Rodgers back, is out of the picture, the Packers hope that a fresh start with Matt LaFleur will put an end to that drought in 2019.

Of course, whether this actually happens will most likely come down to the health status of Rodgers since he’s been a bit banged up in each of the last two seasons as well. But if the future Hall of Famer can remain healthy, and Green Bay lands Brown to team up with Davante Adams in the passing game, the Packers’ offense could return to their ways from a few years ago as a top unit in the league.
