Arizona Cardinals: Don’t expect Antonio Brown

The Arizona Cardinals were linked to current Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown on Tuesday

Well after rumors started to fly about where the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to trade receiver Antonio Brown to, it was predictable the Arizona Cardinals would come up.  Not only have they come up, some say they have the greatest odds to land him.

That is of course the Steelers are willing to trade him.  That remains to be seen.  It has been documented that Brown isn’t exactly 100 percent happy in Pittsburgh.

To even entertain the thought Brown would come to Arizona is laughable though.  First, he will cost a pretty penny to obtain.  I mean, the Cardinals aren’t the New England Patriots, so they won’t get him cheap.

Then if they were to land the star receiver, then he has to be paid.  He will command money the Cardinals can’t spend.

Again though, I’m not in the front office, so maybe miracles do happen.  For this team though in its current state, don’t expect any miracles.  This just isn’t going to happen.

Dreaming is free however, so dream away while in reality Brown either stays with the Steelers or goes to a contender.  Brown isn’t the only receiver linked to Arizona on Tuesday.

One receiver who did make a visit to the Cardinals was the recently released Kendall Wright.  He was released at the end of the preseason by the Minnesota Vikings.

He may be the best of the receiver crop still available in free agency.  Although a case could be made for the now again free agent Corey Coleman, who was released by the Patriots just days after signing with them, in favor of Josh Gordon.

Wright’s visit may not seem all that exciting.  What it does do however, is show Cardinals fans the front office is trying.  There is only so much to work with.

We’ll see if Wright’s visit will result in a contract.  If it doesn’t, don’t be surprised if the Brown story fails to go away anytime soon around here.
