Antonio Brown, one of the best wide receivers in the league just a couple years ago, is currently serving an eight-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

However, the suspension will end after next week, which means that he will be able to sign with a new team after Week 8. And as expected, despite his recent troubles off the field, there are several teams that are very interested in the former star wide receiver.

According to reports, the Seattle Seahawks are the front-runners and will make a strong push to sign Brown. Seattle’s quarterback Russell Wilson was seen working out with Brown in the offseason.

It’s a good situation for Brown as well, who would be stepping into a strong organization and joining a team that is currently undefeated, a Super Bowl contender, and has a quarterback that is currently playing on an MVP level. Seattle also has two other very good receivers, which would allow Brown to get more single coverage than he is used to seeing.

Another possible landing spot for Brown is Baltimore. The Ravens have an MVP quarterback themselves in Lamar Jackson and wide receiver Marquise Brown on the roster, who is Antonio’s cousin.
