Honorable Mention: Trade for Antonio Brown

Before any Pittsburgh Steelers fan freaks out over this even being a possible scenario, keep in mind the only reason why this is even listed as an honorable mention was due to the surprising tweets by Antonio Brown on Monday in which he joked to a fan about the team trading him. At the end of the day, Brown is one of the most dangerous receivers in the NFL, and is a threat each time he gets the football in his hands, which the Steelers know.

Just the thought of Pittsburgh even considering a trade involving their beloved wideout in Brown would seem insane to even think about, but crazier things have taken place in the NFL. And if the Eagles were to make the Steelers an offer they couldn’t refuse, why wouldn’t the team at least explore the possibility with Brown?

Without question, the addition of a talented receiver like Brown would elevate this receiving corps to a whole new level for Philadelphia, but unfortunately this dream scenario is a clear stretch. However, just because this is a stretch doesn’t mean Eagles fans can’t wish about the possibility, especially if it turns out Brown is unhappy with the way things are unfolding in Pittsburgh.
