One NFL coach believes Bill Belichick, Patriots will take 'low-risk flyer' on Antonio Brown

Now that All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown has been released by the Oakland Raiders, the wideout will get to find a new place to play football beginning at 4pm on Saturday. According to one NFL coach, Brown could end up with the New England Patriots.

Mike Florio from NBC's Pro Football Talk said he asked one NFL coach if Bill Belichick would take a '"low-risk flyer" on Brown. Their response:

"I bet he does."

It's tough to imagine that happening. Brown has made it clear that his motive at this point in his career is money, which New England does not have a whole lot of right now.

According to Miguel Benzan of the Boston Sports Journal, the Patriots have $6.38 million in cap space remaining for this season. Brown would have to be willing to take quite the pay cut from what he was planning on making with the Raiders, which was $30 million in guarantees.
