Antonio Brown Has Been Traded to the Raiders

[Rock Strongo]

a 1st from the pats is more like a 2nd.
I would have taken the 3rd & 5th to keep him away from the team that stops them in playoffs all the time. I dont blame the steelers for that.

i dont either, like i said. but they could have sent him here, gotten that end of round 1 pick, and moved on.

As if the Patriots’ signing of Antonio Brown didn’t seem sneaky enough, there’s another wrinkle to his contract.

The team added an option year onto Brown’s one-year contract which would pay Brown $20 million guaranteed for the 2020 NFL season if the Patriots exercise the option, according to ESPN, which said the option was added for “cap proration purposes.”

After the Raiders cut Brown on Saturday, the Patriots pounced and gave Brown a one-year deal worth up to $15 million, including a $9 million signing bonus.

So after losing roughly $30 million in guaranteed money once the Raiders fined him for conduct detrimental to the team, Brown could end up with $35 million over the next two seasons if the Patriots want to bring him back.

Which is still less than the $54 million he could have had in 3 years with the Raiders.

well they could lose 10 mil. if he acts up.

True...

NFL contracts are ONLY worth what the guaranteed money involved is.

I can sign you to a 1.5 billion dollar contract, but if you gave nothing guarantee, the team can drop you any time they want and owe you nothing.

That's true. Brown could have been a Raider for 3 years and gotten that $54 million. They were not going to just cut him. He had to be a dumbass multiple times for them to finally do it.

Well — if NE wants him for two years, he will get 35 million in 2 years and probably a SB ring to go with it.

Then he can sign with whoever he wants. Which means, he will take less money to stay with the Pats and win more SB rings until Belichick decides to get rid of him for the next guy he gets for pennies on the dollar and he becomes a start for NE.

It's not good for the NFL that the Steelers can't keep their talent. Brown and Bell are the best players of the decade at their positions.

Bell is the best of the decade? Hm.

Thank you for understanding Antonio was the best.



That sure did take you a while.

Never said he wasn’t. Thanks for keeping up with your own bs.

Yeah, I don't buy the best of the decade for either of them either. I'd admit they are in the top 5.
It seems it was the Steelers making them great. How are they doing since they left Pit?

There's an Antonio thread that shows that he had the best 6 year run ever.

It's too math heavy for some of these folk, but I'm sure you can handle it.
