Are Antonio Brown and the New England Patriots a match made in heaven?
Cris Carter apparently believes so.
Brown, as you might have heard, is feuding with the Pittsburgh Steelers after a bizarre end to the regular season. The All-Pro wideout reportedly has requested a trade, and the Steelers are considering acquiescing to his demands.
Carter believes New England is a “viable” landing spot for Brown should Pittsburgh elect to move the 30-year-old. The “First Things First” co-host offered his reasoning Wednesday morning.
Take a look:
"Antonio Brown is the type of player that's a perfect trade for the New England Patriots. And as long as Tom Brady is there, the Pats are going to be in a 'win right now' mentality. New England is a viable landing spot for AB."

Brady and the Patriots likely would love to bring Brown into the fold. But considering his contract — three years, over $36 million remaining on the current deal — coupled with the rivalry that exists between the Steelers and Patriots, it’s hard to imagine a deal coming to fruition.
But hey, crazier things have happened, and Brown and Brady seem to have a good relationship.
