Free agent wide receiver Antonio Brown to the Houston Texans? That's what the man formerly known as Chad Ochocinco wants to happen. And apparently, Deshaun Watson wouldn't be mad about it either.
Chad Johnson tweeted out the idea and clearly wishes it to happen. It seemed innocent enough coming from a former player.
AB to the Texans 🙏🏿

But then things got a little more interesting once the Texans' QB got wind of the idea as well. Deshaun Watson went all side-eye Drake in his reply, showing that he isn't opposed to the idea of his team signing the enigmatic receiver.

Watson receiving corps will definitely have a big, gaping hole with the departure of their best WR DeAndre Hopkins in a trade a few months back. He'd without a doubt want someone like Antonio Brown, who's just as talented, if not more so, as Hopkins when on the receiving end of a QB's passes.
However, everything about AB is never simple. It's crazy to think that someone who's caused such a mess in the last few years off the football field can still garner as much interest as he still does.
But at the same time, it seems equally as absurd that he still doesn't have a team given how talented he is as an offensive player. There are few people you'd want to be throwing at in the NFL today over Antonio Brown.
If somehow he can be kept in check, then there's no reason any team like the Texans would pass on him. But that's always been a massive “if.”
