The Antonio Brown trade sweepstakes appear to be in full effect and teams are making their pushes for the wide receiver. But one team whose interest may be overblown is the New York Jets.
In a report on Tuesday, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport said the Jets entered the mix for Brown. The New York Daily News’ Manish Mehta says the Jets do not have serious interest in the receiver.
I was told that the Jets did indeed have contact with the Steelers about Antonio Brown, but they do not have serious interest in trading for him.
I think they absolutely should be aggressive about getting one of the best WRs in the NFL to help Sam Darnold.
The Jets disagree https://t.co/WUmfDl4lEt

Last week, the three teams that were reported to have the greatest interest in Brown were the Titans, Redskins and Raiders. The Raiders seem to be the most interested of all teams.
Pittsburgh may be motivated to trade Brown prior to March 17, which is when his $2.5 million roster bonus is due.
