Shopping for a WR1

[Racehorse]

Crazy theory alert:

I don't think Ballard is interested in Brown, but wants the rumor mill to give some misdirection for us. If other AFC teams think we are possibly going to pursue Brown, a potential rival may offer up enough to put them in A) cap hell, or B) lacking in draft capital. Then, a rival will have the lockerroom issues and we will get a WR in the draft who will be WR2, sign Bell instead, trade for Julio, etc.
