3 teams that need to sign Antonio Brown in NFL free agency
February 21, 2021
After returning to the NFL this past season, Antonio Brown is scheduled to become a free agent this offseason. The former All-Pro had some bright spots in 11 games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brown had two postseason touchdown catches, including one in the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl victory.
Despite not being heavily featured in Tampa Bay’s offense, Brown showed in Week 17 he’s still a No. 1 receiver. After being targeted 15 times, Brown finished with 11 catches for 138 receiving yards and two touchdown receptions.
While multiple teams need another wide receiver, we want to look at teams where Brown would be a necessity rather than a luxury. With this in mind let’s take a look at three teams that need to sign the star receiver.

When reminded on Wednesday that NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Chase Young had rather publicly stated his desire to put him on the ground, Tom Brady didn t take the bait, beyond a light joke about the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry. Instead, Brady acknowledged what most of the analysis regarding Tampa Bay s Wild Card matchup with Washington has focused on: Young and the Football Team s loaded defensive front is the biggest challenge the Buccaneers will face on Saturday night. He s obviously a great young player, said Brady. We ve got our hands full with that D-Line – one of the best D-Lines in the league.

NFL franchises use contextualized data to create competitive advantages. In order to realize an edge, teams need to employ the right data in the right way at the right time. This means distilling, interpreting and applying only the most influential data in a framework that accounts for personnel, opponents and evolving game situations. My goal is to be your analytics department. Each week this season, I want to work for you by giving you a peek into which numbers flag in my models as the most impactful . or the most misunderstood.
