1. Sign Antonio Brown in free agency

Everyone loves a good comeback story, no matter who it is or what they did, when a person changes their life for the better people begin to root for that individual. As of late, Antonio Brown appears to have focused his mind on getting back to football and leaving his shenanigans behind him as he continues to train while he waits for a team to give him a chance.

The Green Bay Packers need to be that team who gives him that chance. The city of Green Bay, WI is not under as much surveillance as large market teams are, such as the Las Vegas Raiders or New England Patriots. The Packers are planted in the middle of a suburban neighborhood where the players are heavily involved in their community.

This change of scenery could be precisely what Brown needs to stage his comeback. There are no distractions with mass media, and he is able to focus strictly on football while having the opportunity to catch passes from one of the most talented quarterbacks to have ever played the game.

Signing Antonio Brown to a cheap, one-year deal is a win-win scenario for both parties, as it gives Rodgers an elite wide receiver to pair with Davante Adams, as well as gives Brown his chance to reestablish himself as a top pass-catcher in the NFL.

Players in Green Bay are held to high standards of professionalism and will have zero tolerance for anything that does not abide by those standards. It would not be unexpected if Aaron Rodgers himself were to watch over the former All-Pro player to ensure he remains out of trouble.

With the veteran quarterback looking for another championship or two, adding Antonio Brown will make up for the front office essentially ignoring the wide receiver position in the offseason while giving Brown a shot at winning his first Super Bowl with the team that has the trophy named after their former head coach.

The worst-case scenario for this option is Brown continues his old way of doing things the way he likes and will result in his final departure from the NFL while making Green Bay look like the fools for giving him a chance when they should not have.

In the best-case scenario, Brown truly has changed his ways and finally wins a championship while giving Rodgers his second title and bringing the Lombardi Trophy back home. This signing is a high-risk, high-reward move, but for a team in win-now mode, this is a move that will satisfy all parties in the organization.
