Antonio Brown traded to Oakland

Seems about right for the trouble.

Seeing it was just a 3rd and 5th to get Brown is a bit of a bummer, knowing Hurney might have been able to Olsen him from the Steelers 

But on the flip side dude is a head case and probably going to wither away in Oakland for a couple seasons before he has a late career resurgence with 45 year old Tom Brady

The 3rd and 5th round pick may be a bummer (any team would have given that up for Brown) but the 16.7 million cap charge this season and 30 million guarantee over this year and next is the issue....

whatever y'all.  i'd be pissed too if the org i worked for let a rapist call me and my friend out publicly and then backed him up.  specially when both bell and brown are better than rapey

Two thoughts...

1.  They couldn't pay in his prime Khalil Mack though? GTFO

2. Derek Carr reportedly cried on the field last year and had relationship issues with teammates.

Enter arguably the biggest diva WR in the league, on the downswing of his prime, paid as the highest earning WR in football, and unafraid to call out coaches, players, etc.?  With Gruden, Mike Mayock, and Mark Davis in charge?  

 

This will be fun.

Comp pick for what? This wasn’t a free agent leaving. This was a trade to which the Steelers agreed. Why would they get a comp pick?

Not the best sarcasm. Sorry!

The Steelers got Brown off their asses, but not off their books.

Brown should be happy that anybody wanted him.

Well said! It will be exciting to watch and laugh at this.  Oakland was looking competent at last then they hired Gruden again and it went back to Al Davis times. I take this team as seriously as their owner's hait cut.

Also if HBO doesn't get the Raiders on Hard Knocks they're failures

The Steelers need to get rid of him and Le’Veon— they tore the team apart this year. The Steelers were looking like an AFC contender and those 2 tore the heart out of the team.

It’s also the Steelers fault too though,... Antonio was getting paid less than half of lesser contemporaries, so he was getting bent over with no Vaseline. 

I’m wondering where Le’Veon ends up now?

[KillerKat]

Should've paid Mack instead

[outlaw4]

I'm sure Jon Gruden and Antonio Brown will get along just fine like with Gruden and Keyshawn Johnson.

And Keenan McCardell.

And Amari Cooper.

...so how long until Brown is traded again?

All trades had to be contingent on Brown getting a completely new deal making him the highest paid WR annually. Few teams have the space want to make that kind of commitment on a 31 year old disgruntled receiver. The trade value was low because Steelers had zero leverage and very few buyers that could meet Brown's demands. I'm glad he's not in the NFC at least. 

So in other words Brown got what he wanted. Mr. Big Chest gets what Mr. Big Chest wants. Steelers got punked by Brown.
