Antonio Brown has had a roller coaster offseason and more drama than any player in recent NFL history. After requesting a trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers early in the offseason, Brown was shipped to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for a third and fifth-round pick. Now, his future in Oakland is looking shaky.

First off, Brown had to miss time due to frostbitten feet. It was one of the strangest stories that we have seen in quite some time. Then, Brown missed more time due to an ongoing grievance with the NFL over the ban of the helmet that he has worn throughout his entire career.

The latest incident is perhaps the most bizarre. After the Raiders made the decision to fine Brown for some of the time that he missed, Brown posted the notice he received from the franchise on social media. What ensued after that is straight out of a reality show.

Brown and general manager Mike Mayock reportedly got into a heated altercation. Things didn't get physical, but Brown was restrained by teammates. Many believe that the Raiders will end up moving on from the disgruntled wide receiver.

All of that being said, let's dive in and take a look at three teams who should consider taking a major risk on an Antonio Brown trade.

3. Carolina Panthers

Cam Newton and company have been needing a legitimate star wide receiver for quite some time. D.J. Moore is currently penciled in as their No. 1 option, with Curtis Samuel also being viewed as a key piece for the offense. Adding a player like Brown would completely revitalize the Panthers' offense.

Norv Turner and company simply cannot afford to wait any longer to supply Newton with the best weapons they can. The asking price for Brown is going to be low, so it is worth the risk. Carolina acquiring Brown would make them legitimate Super Bowl contenders in the NFC.

2. Green Bay Packers

Some fans are going to hate seeing the Packers on this list, but they very much belong. Green Bay was rumored to be one of the potential landing spots for Brown before he was traded to the Raiders. Their level of interest remains unclear, but giving Aaron Rodgers a weapon like Antonio Brown would be video game material.

Matt LaFleur and company have a strong locker room that may be able to help Brown turn things around. He is good friends with current Packers' wide receiver Davante Adams as well. Being given an opportunity to play with Rodgers for a storied franchise like Green Bay would be an opportunity of a lifetime for Brown.

Antonio Brown, Raiders

1. New England Patriots

How could we conclude this list without having Bill Belichick and the Patriots at the top of it? New England has taken gambles on quite a few players with questionable character over the years. Simply think back to Randy Moss to make sense of why the Patriots are the ideal trade partner for Brown.

Brown would join a stacked Patriots' offense and would give Tom Brady the best weapon he has had since Moss. Can you imagine an offense that includes Brown, Josh Gordon, and Julian Edelman as the top three targets? New England should seriously considering offering a mid-to-late-round pick to the Raiders in an Antonio Brown trade.
