So, when Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown didn’t suit up for Week 17’s meeting against the Cincinnati Bengals speculations started flying. It was weird seeing him on the sideline in an important game, if Baltimore had loss Pittsburgh would’ve gone to the playoffs. It has been confirmed that arguably the best receiver in football wants out.

Brown has three years left on his deal with salaries of $12.625 million (’19), $11.3 million (’20) and $12.5 million (’21) due to him. None the years are guaranteed to the star, but whoever trades for him will pay him and I wouldn’t be shocked if they restructure the deal.
His stats last season:
104 receptions, 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns
He will be 31 years of age July 10th, but with his production the last six years I bet it will be a lot of teams lining up to give him a shot.
Which teams have a huge need at wide receiver?
San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, Washington Redskins, Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos. (Others could enter the list also, but these teams need a true number one)
I know the Cincinnati Bengals are glad he wants to leave has he torn their hearts out on many occasions and as a 49ers fan I hope he lands their because they need a true number one receiver, but I’m guessing whoever trades for him will have to give up at least a first round pick because Dallas gave up a first round pick for Amari Cooper. I know Cooper is younger, but his resume isn’t as decorated as Brown’s.
It will be interesting to see who this ends up, where do you think he lands?
