Antonio Brown is still interested in returning to the NFL and the Seattle Seahawks have emerged as a possible landing spot.
NFL Network's Bucky Brooks explained why he believed Brown would be an ideal fit in Seattle:
In Seattle, Brown's energy and competitiveness could fit well on a team built on individual and collective competitiveness. The ‘Hawks sprinkle in competitive periods throughout practice, including one-on-one and seven-on-seven periods, with the starters competing against each other. With Brown known to embrace on-field challenges while diligently prepping for the next game, the four-time All-Pro is built to play for a team and coach who embody the “Always Compete” mantra.
Ever since his days with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Brown is well-known for his uncanny work ethic. However, the All-Pro wide receiver has let his ego get the best of him in recent years. Thus the reason why he's still available on the open market.
Despite his off-the-field concerns, the Seahawks could be a perfect place for Brown to revive his career. As of this moment, Seattle boasts a receiving corps that features Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf. Adding Brown would give them one of the best receiving trios in the NFL.
Not to mention, pairing Brown with Pete Carroll could be exactly what the veteran wide receiver needs. Carroll is known for his competitiveness and has always allowed players to be themselves.
Above all, Russell Wilson appears to be on board with the idea of signing Brown. Last month, ESPN's John Clayton reported that Wilson was lobbying for the Seahawks to sign the troubled pass-catcher this offseason.
Given that, all signs point toward Seattle being a consummate landing spot for Brown. Although, it's unclear if GM John Schneider is willing to take the risk of adding Brown.
