3 free agent wide receivers the Packers can still sign
1. Antonio Brown
Brown is arguably the biggest name free agent the Buccaneers haven’t found a way to retain this offseason. At some point, Tampa Bay is going to run out of money and salary cap flexibility. It seems that Brown might be the sacrifice the Bucs have to make to accommodate everyone else on the roster.
He certainly comes with more than his share of off the field issues, but his talent between the lines is impossible to deny. He posted an eye-popping PFF grade of 85.8 down the stretch for Tampa Bay last season. That kind of efficiency makes it clear Brown still has star potential even at the age of 32.
The key to getting maximum value for Brown is by keeping him engaged. Letting him catch passes from Rodgers in Green Bay’s high-powered offense is an ideal recipe for success. The Packers should be able to give Brown enough on-field work to keep him away from off-the-field trouble in 2021.

No team is going to break the bank for Brown this offseason which gives the Packers a unique opportunity to secure a Pro Bowl player on a bargain contract. Anything more than the minimum on a one-year deal might be enough to earn Brown’s signature. Green Bay needs to make sure they preserve a potential out in any deal they ink with Brown, but it’s a gamble worth taking.
