The Seattle Seahawks reportedly were having internal discussions about signing free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown last week. Meanwhile, NBC Sports Bay Area's Donte Whitner believes the 49ers should add the talented but controversial player.
Former NFL executive and current analyst Michael Lombardi thinks that if either of those two possibilities play out, it will determine which team is the favorite to win the NFC West and possibly represent the conference in Super Bowl LV (h/t 49ers Web Zone).
"I think Antonio Brown shifts the balance of power in the West (if he signs there)," Lombardi said Tuesday on 95.
