New York Jets

The New York Jets are a win-win. They don’t have the talent to make a major run this season, but they do have a young enough quarterback where the front office might want to try. Add the third-pick in the draft and that’s a recipe for a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Sam Darnold would love to have Antonio Brown next season. He’s a second-year player who struggled with confidence in his rookie campaign. The Jets, Darnold and the Steelers all need to be thinking that it would certainly boost moral if the young QB had the NFL’s best receiver to throw to.

On top of this, the Jets are notoriously known for making mistakes. Not saying they’re going to throw everything they have at Pittsburgh, but if someone is going to give up a top five pick and more, it’s going to be New York.

It’s not the Bay Area but New York is still bright, shiny and filled with media. Antonio Brown’s helicopter would catch much more attention in the Big Apple than it did in Pittsburgh, so why not hand him a green and white jersey in 2019.
