5 Free agents the Atlanta Falcons must avoid this off-season

4. Antonio Brown

Antonio Brown was believed by many to have taken his last snap in the league when he ran off the field with Tampa Bay. It was the beginning of the end for a Bucs team that needed Antonio and wasn’t able to find enough offense after his departure. Now with the off-season fast approaching it wouldn’t be shocking to see Brown get another chance with a team.

Antonio Brown doesn’t deserve another chance after the myriad of issues the receiver has dealt with on and off the field. However, talent talks, and there is no questioning the fact that Brown is still a great player who can play the position at a level so few can.

Antonio Brown will likely be forced to sign a prove-it deal and because of that will be a tempting option for every team that needs a receiver. The Atlanta Falcons may be desperate to save cap space and find playmakers but Brown just isn’t the answer.

Whether it is the Patriots, Steelers, Bucs, or Raiders if you sign or trade for Antonio you will regret it. Despite his talent, he will hurt your team more than he will help. His me-first attitude is obvious and shows in how he has carried himself in this league. He will tear any number of teammates down to pat himself on the back he is an ultra-talented receiver who will be remembered not only for his talent but for the terrible attitude and atmosphere he creates for a team.
