5 teams the Pittsburgh Steelers hope come calling for Antonio Brown

Antonio Brown has requested a trade and with so much talent on the table, the Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping these five teams come calling.

A first-round pick probably isn’t enough as the NFL experienced bundles of picks being handed to teams in exchange for Pro Bowl talent. Amari Cooper and Khalil Mack may be some of the best in the NFL, but neither have done what Antonio Brown has done during their time in the league.

Not all 32 teams want Brown. Whether it’s his three years left of his four-year/$68 million contract, most teams can’t afford to make an offer even if they’d like to. Then, you eliminate those who don’t have the trade package the Steelers would value. Even with so much drama, and Brown’s desire to leave, Pittsburgh isn’t moving him for scraps. Teams will need to provide at least a first-round pick and some for the wideout.

After pushing through the cloud of smoke as most teams leave to look for other options, you run across five that provide the perfect mix of talent, money and draft picks to make a deal for Brown. It’s hard to imagine if an organization has the capability to, they won’t call to inquire the Steelers only trade block member.

You don’t replace Antonio Brown. He’s a player that brings things to the table no one else in the NFL does. His record-setting 9,145 yards over the last six years isn’t something you find elsewhere. Players like Brown only come around once in awhile. So, when a team looks for a receiving option and realizes they have the assets to trade for AB, they’re going to.
