Antonio Brown made big news on New Year's Day as he reportedly requested a trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's very unlikely the Steelers will trade their All-Pro receiver, but if they were to put him on the market, would the Packers go after him?

John Breech of CBS Sports came up with the top nine landing spots for Brown and the Packers came in at No. 4. Here's a look at why Breech thinks the Packers would be a good landing spot for Brown.

"One of Aaron Rodgers' biggest problems in Green Bay is that his receivers generally have some serious issues getting open. If the Packers were to trade for Brown, that would likely solve a lot of those problems. With Brown and Davante Adams on the team, Rodgers would have no excuse to have a bad season in 2019. The thing that makes the Packers an intriguing option is that they actually have two first-round picks this year, which means they could offer one to the Steelers in exchange for Brown."

Last year, the Packers drafted three wide receivers - J'Mon Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown. Valdes-Scantling and St. Brown showed promise while Moore had issues holding onto the ball which led to him only having two receptions all year. The Packers also lost Geronimo Allison midway through the season with a core muscle injury and Randall Cobb, who will be a free agent in March, was in and out of the lineup all season due to multiple injuries.

So one could make the argument that Adams is the Packers' only reliable receiver and going after Brown would make sense. But despite the fact CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La Canfora being the first to report the news of Brown requesting a trade, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin talked to reporters on Wednesday and said shot down rumors of a trade.

"I'm not going to address a trade," Tomlin said. "We haven't formally received a request in that regard."

La Canfora said Brown is asking for a trade because of the issues he has with Tomlin and Ben Roethlisberger.

"I'm told it was not a demand but he has asked to be dealt," La Canfora said. "Very unlikely Rooney would capitulate. Brown has issues with Mike Tomlin and Ben Roethlisberger. Feels like the coach is too aligned with the QB."

Brown has been one of the top wide receivers in the NFL for the last six seasons. He has been named to the Pro Bowl seven times, he's been selected to the All-Pro First Team four times and he's led the NFL in receptions and receiving yards twice. In 2018, Brown finished the year with 104 receptions for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns which led the NFL.
