Wilson: Seahawks 'a great place' for Antonio Brown
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson thinks his team can help free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown.
"Most of the conversations I've had with most his former teammates and stuff like that said that he worked hard every day," Wilson said Thursday, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. "I think that with our culture and how our culture is, with (head) coach (Pete) Carroll, with the teammates that we have, the men that we have and the growth, I think, if he does play football, I think this is a great place. If he does play again, I think this is a place that he'll grow a lot as a man as well."
The Seahawks are reportedly among the teams interested in Brown, who's suspended but eligible to be reinstated following Week 8.
The NFL suspended Brown during the offseason for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The suspension is reportedly related to both the threatening text messages he sent a woman who accused him of sexual misconduct and his January altercation with a moving truck driver.
Wilson added that he doesn't don't know what's going to happen with Brown but hopes the wideout "gets to play football again," according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times.
The 32-year-old's last NFL appearance was more than a year ago and marked his only game of the 2019 season.
The 5-0 Seahawks lead the NFL with 33.8 points per game, most of which have come from Wilson's league-high 19 passing touchdowns.
