3. Antonio Brown, WR

I’ve written about why the Buccaneers did the right thing to move on from Antonio Brown, but you also can’t help but wonder what could’ve been.

Brown could’ve been signed to a veterans minimum deal with a very short leash. At that point, he would have the chance to prove that he could still be the All-Pro wide receiver that he was just a few short years ago.

If Brown had truly cleaned up his act and still had that talent, could you imagine him playing alongside Mike Evans and Chris Godwin with Tom Brady throwing him the rock?

That offense could’ve been near unstoppable.
