Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown could be on the trade block this offseason, and even with his attitude problems, there will likely be a plethora of teams interested in his services.
New York Jets safety Jamal Adams has already begun recruiting Brown, and Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox feels that Brown to the Jets could be a possibility.
The catch with Brown is that he has a $22 million cap hit for 2019, but with New York owning over $100 million in cap space, the Jets would have the ability to absorb him.
Brown hauled in 104 receptions for 1,297 yards and a league-leading 15 touchdowns this season en route to his sixth straight Pro Bowl appearance, so we know that the talent is obviously there.
The question is, does New York want to deal with that potential headache in the locker room, and would a flamboyant, mercurial wide out such as Brown be a good complement to young quarterback Sam Darnold?
After all, Brown left the Steelers three times this past season, including when he abandoned the team ahead of their Week 17 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Who is to say he won't do that again with another team?
Plus, Brown is already 30 years old, so a decline could be coming soon.
But, clearly, Brown's tantalizing ability makes him a hard commodity to pass up. He has made seven Pro Bowls in his career, leading the league in both receiving yards and touchdowns twice each. He has also been named a First-Team All-Pro four straight seasons, and it remains to be seen if he earns a fifth straight selection this year.
