Antonio Brown Betting Odds: 49ers, Jets Among Favorites To Land Top Steelers Receiver
Now that arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL is suddenly, seemingly available, Las Vegas oddsmakers are accepting bets on which team will land him. BetDSI has a list of odds for which teams are the favorites to get Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Antonio Brown, and there are few surprises at the top.
The San Francisco 49ers are the favorites to get Brown, with +200 odds. Former 49ers star Jerry Rice maintains communications with Brown and he expressed his support for luring Brown to the Bay Area in a radio interview on Monday. He also said Brown wants to play for the 49ers.
San Francisco will have plenty of salary cap room and draft capital to spare if they want to pursue Brown.
Behind the 49ers are the New York Jets, who could use Brown’s receiving talents as well as his star power. The Jets will have a good amount of cap space in 2019 and need to give young quarterback Sam Darnold all the help he can get. BetDSI gives them +300 odds to land Brown.
The Buffalo Bills fall behind the Jets with +450 odds to trade for Brown. The Bills desperately need skill position talent to help with quarterback Josh Allen’s development, and they have salary cap room to make it work.
Brown eclipsed 100 catches for the sixth straight season in 2018, finishing the year with 104 catches, 1297 yards and 15 touchdowns. Drama between he and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger came to a head in the final week of the regular season, and ever since, the sentiment around the league has been that the Steelers will look to move on from Brown in the offseason.
According to recent reports, the teams will look to get Brown for at least a second-round pick with the possibility of adding more picks to any potential trade package. It does not seem like any team will give up a first-round pick for the 30-year-old receiver.
Betting odds for Antonio Brown’s next team:
San Francisco 49ers +200
New York Jets +300
Buffalo Bills +450
Arizona Cardinals +500
Indianapolis Colts +600
Houston Texans +750
Cleveland Browns +1000
Oakland Raiders +1000
Chicago Bears +1000
Tennessee Titans +1500
