5 NFL teams who should take the risk on signing Antonio Brown

2. Baltimore Ravens should sign Antonio Brown

Considering that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson won NFL MVP last season and the team boasted a historically dominant offense en route to having the best record in the AFC, it might seem outlandish to say that they need help on that side of the ball. Yet, that remains the case.

The obvious next step for Jackson as a player is for him to become a more dangerous passer. For that to happen, though, he needs more consistent weapons to emerge. There are candidates with Marquise Brown (the cousin of Antonio Brown) and rookie Devin Duvernay. In terms of sure things, though, there is no one on the current roster that qualifies.

Baltimore has reportedly already had discussions internally regarding Brown, which makes sense given the offensive circumstances. He would clearly help on the field but, perhaps most importantly, putting him in a successful franchise with great infrastructure and with a family member on the roster as a support group could make the Ravens an ideal landing spot.

1. Green Bay Packers should sign Antonio Brown

Unlike just about every other team outside of the Eagles mentioned on this list, there hasn’t necessarily been anything concreted connecting Antonio Brown to the Green Bay Packers in the 2020 offseason. And even then, they make the most sense on the field as a landing spot for the wide receiver.

It’s been discussed ad nauseam how the Packers have done quarterback Aaron Rodgers a huge disservice this offseason. Rather than give him anyone outside of Davante Adams in the wide receiver corps to throw to, they drafted his assumed replacement in the first round, a running back in Round 2 and no wide receivers at all.

Brown would fix that. As he would be for any team, he’s a risk due to his behavior and the suspensions. But if we’re talking about a team that desperately needs wide receiver help and would get a massive boost from Brown’s talents, the Packers stand above the rest.
