Russell Wilson pushing for Seahawks to sign Antonio Brown

Antonio Brown fleeced the Raiders and the Patriots for some serious money in 2019. Brown was released from the Raiders after a plethora of issues arose, including recording Raiders executives.

The Patriots signed Brown who played in one game. Brown was accused of sexual assault. Brown sent a group chat that included one of the victims, which lead to his dismissal from the Patriots organization. Brown then went on to verbally attack owner Robert Kraft.

Brown has shown that he is clearly mentally unstable and in need of medical help over the past year. Brown met with teams but nobody would touch him during the 2019 season after he was released by Belichick.

Fast forward to May  2020 and Russell Wilson appears to be lobbying for the troubled receiver to bring his cancer to the Seahawks locker room according to John Clayton.

“It’s pretty clear the Seahawks want to run the ball even more this year. They have loaded up at tight end and tried to stay big along the offensive line. But it’s not out of the question for the Seahawks to add another wide receiver. According to sources, Wilson would love to add Antonio Brown. Brown is also close with backup QB Geno Smith, whose one-year contract with the Seahawks was finalized Wednesday.”

Virgil Villanueva says that if the Seahawks do intend to sign Brown, it would not be until the preseason. 

"if the Seahawks are interested in Brown, fans should expect the team to chase after him either in late July or August."

The Seahawks  seem to have other needs at the moment, so signing Brown would take away cap needed in those areas. The Seahawks have done their best to stay away from trouble makers. So the question needs be asked, after watching Brown's 2019; is Brown worth the risk?
