Antonio Brown hasn’t played football in 42 days after the New England Patriots cut him following multiple sexual assault allegations, but that didn’t stop the Seattle Seahawks from looking into signing the troubled wide receiver.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday that the Seahawks did their “due diligence” on Brown before ultimately claiming his former Patriots teammate Josh Gordon off waivers. One of Schefter’s sources added that quarterback Russell Wilson was among those who advocated for the Seahawks to sign Brown.
If you thought a Wilson-Gordon connection was intriguing, imagine Wilson throwing precision passes to Brown, one of the best route runners in the league.
