At this point in the NFL offseason, it is no secret that current Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown will be on the move sometime very soon. With the Steelers currently — and very publicly — fielding trade offers for the All-Pro pass catcher, it appears as though the heralded Green Bay Packers could be a potential landing spot for Brown in the end, and Green Bay running back Aaron Jones couldn't be more excited about the prospect.
Jones knows that Brown could make an immediate impact for a Packers team that missed out on the postseason in 2018-19.
“Pick your poison,” Jones recently said. “You can't double-team Davante [Adams]. You can't double-team [Antonio Brown].”
What would an offense with @AaronRodgers12 x @Showtyme_33 x @tae15adams &… @AB84 look like?

Could you imagine Brown catching passes from future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers? It wouldn't be the worst career move going from “Big Ben” to Rodgers, that's for sure…
“Anytime you get to have a playmaker on your team, you want him there,” Jones added. “But we have Davnate Adams on the other side. If we get [Brown], it would be pick your poison. But we also have three young receivers that we drafted who are up a coming. And then we also have Geronimo Allison who got hurt earlier in the season and he was on his way to a breakout season.”
With the Packers looking to return to the top of the always dangerous NFC North division in a hurry, the addition of a player like Brown could be just what the doctor ordered in Green Bay.
