Antonio Brown Has Been Traded to the Raiders

[NinerSickness]

Think it's for a 3rd & 5th

Report: Steelers trade Brown to Raiders

 

[Schmoopy1000]

good for the steelers.

So Brown is going to hell?????

 

[Davis_Mike]

lol @ third/fifth round picks.

In the end, the Raiders traded Amari Cooper, a third-round pick, and a fifth-round pick for Antonio Brown and a first-round pick. Looking at it that way, that looks like a great deal for Oakland.

 

[Stomp]

Saving them 1 million against the cap this year

 

[Hambombs]

Damn makes sense. Carr and AB birthdays are 8 months 18 days apart, carrs bday is in 18 days, AB got a 18 million dollar contract

 

[Southieinnc]

Today's Friday????? YAAAAA!

Finally this nonsense is over, good news for Raiders is that thanks to last year, Antonio has already started getting use to not winning the division.

 

[Battlelyon]

No pressure to win and gets his stats a win win for Brown

a 3rd and a 5th....


....FUCK ANTONIO BROWN

LUL what a steal. 3rd and a 5th? For a team that has 3 1st rounders? Okay Pittsburgh. Didn't realize their FO has become incompetent as their head coach. This kind of has a Randy Moss vibe and I'm not sure I give any extra wins to Oakland as a result, but still... face value, it's an A grade for the Raiders. I'll give the Steelers a C-. They obtained SOMETHING for Brown who is now 30 and Schuster is a solid replacement, but it's clear they could've gotten more.

Biggest L for the Steelers is having to carry $21M in dead cap from this shit, this season. As for Brown, well he's going where receiver's careers go to damn-near die. He's a damn clown and now I have an even bigger reason to think he's a douchebag.

Just watch, when Ben retires, this franchise is going to be in the dumpster for a long time. I have no doubt.

Feels VERY Randy Moss 2.0 to me. Brown will half ass it and be irrelevant, and then probably get traded to an actual GOOD team for MEGA cheap, and help a team make a SBOWL run. Wouldn't surprise me. That or he just gets a major injury (due at 30 with the # of targets he has) and becomes irrelevant.

Steelers learned a valuable lesson here keep your negotiations private. Had their owner, coaches, and teammates kept this shit(both Bell and Brown) private and off social media i doubt any of this crap goes down or at least the Steelers organization wouldn't look as childish as Bell and Brown do had they just issued a team wide gag order when this all started.

Agreed, 100% - hence my comment about their FO incompetence.

Now all said from my end, I have to give the Raiders a D GRADE for the actual contract. $30M guaranteed and $50M total (3 years) for a diva, aging WR, with a ton of targets, who is coming onto a shit team with a potential rookie QB and zero run game? This seems like disaster written all over it. You can pay an aging, diva WR... but can't pay one of the best pass rushers in the NFL? Okay Oakland...

So my grades overall:

Trade: A Raiders, C- Oakland.
Signing: D Raiders.

No surprise. Both FOs seem incompetent at the moment.
