John Brown

From Baltimore to Pittsburgh, John Brown could find himself changing up his AFC North uniform. The speedy wideout was a stud for the Ravens last season but without a reliable pass game in Baltimore, Brown could be looking to make a move before the season.

Brown brings the speed Pittsburgh will be looking for. Coming off his most impressive season in the league, Brown is only looking to get better. That’s much more likely to happen with receivers like JuJu Smith-Schuster and Ryan Switzer and a quarterback like Ben Roethlisberger than Lamar Jackson and Michael Crabtree.

The only downfall is Brown is probably looking for a long-term contract after signing a one-year deal to prove himself in 2018. Now, he’s worth money but could be the perfect value for the Steelers to consider. Add him for three years and let Washington play behind him and JuJu while still contributing.

It’s not AB, but Brown brings enough talent to fill the void. Pittsburgh remains four receivers strong with this signing.
