A lot of teams have been talked about as potential landing spots for Antonio Brown, but one that's flown mostly under the radar is the Packers. Green Bay makes a lot of potential sense for a Brown trade, and Field Yates of ESPN laid out the case in a recent tweet.

As Yates point out, the Packers have all the logistical resources to make it happen. They're in a good space financially and could easily fit Brown into their payroll without too many cap issues. They also have plenty of draft ammo available to use in a trade, including an extra first round pick that they acquired from the Saints in a draft day deal last year.

The old Packers front office led by Ted Thompson would've been hesitant to make such a big splash, but with Brian Gutekunst now in charge, the team isn't afraid to go bold.

They showed that by hiring Matt LaFleur, one of the youngest coaches in the league. The team is clearly trying to spark Aaron Rodgers, and acquiring Brown would do just that.

As Yates notes, pairing Brown with Davante Adams would be a lethal combo. Along with promising young guys like Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown, they'd form the best receiving corps in the league.

Sending him to Green Bay could also benefit the Steelers here. When trading away big-name players, teams often like to send them to opposite conferences, and the Steelers would get him out of the AFC. It makes sense both from a logistics and football standpoint, and both sides should be interested.

Rodgers has looked bored and disinterested at times the past couple of seasons, and a huge move like this would surely help wake him up.
