There had been some talk about the Green Bay Packers representing a potential landing spot for disgruntled Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, but it doesn't look like that is going to come to fruition.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Oakland Raiders, Washington Redskins, and Tennessee Titans represent the most likely landing spots for Brown.
Because the Packers own two first-round picks in the NFL Draft, many felt that Green Bay made sense as a destination, especially taking into account the fact that the Packers could use a wide out who could stretch the field.
But, Green Bay does not seem to be all that interested.
To be fair, Schefter did add that other teams have held discussions with the Steelers about Brown and that another team could emerge in trade talks, but it seems like the Packers are not all that intrigued by the receiver.
Of course, Brown's off-the-field antics could be a big reason why the amount of interested parties in him currently remains so limited. The whole reason why he is on the trade block to begin with is because of his actions in the week leading up to the season finale, where he got into a heated dispute with Ben Roethlisberger that apparently ended in him throwing a football at the quarterback.
Then, Brown refused to practice, complained of knee pain but refused to go for an MRI and went AWOL on the team before consequently being benched by head coach Mike Tomlin for the Steelers' Week 17 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
