The Pittsburgh Steelers are trading their disgruntled receiver for third- and fifth-round picks. Brown will also get a reworked contract.
Antonio Brown will get his wish to leave the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have agreed to trade their disgruntled perennial all-pro to the Oakland Raiders for a third- and fifth-round draft pick.
Per NFL Network, Brown will receive a reworked contract that covers three years and pays $50.1 million with $30.1 million of it guaranteed. Brown's public attitude, plus the fact that he'll turn 31 before next season, seemingly made it difficult for Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert to extract full value for a player who's averaged 114 receptions, 1,524 yards and 11 touchdowns over the past six seasons, historic production for such a sustained period. Pittsburgh was apparently close to shipping Brown to the Bills late Thursday, but he scuttled the trade, according to reports.
Back in Pittsburgh, Colbert, Roethlisberger and coach Mike Tomlin must forge ahead without Brown and star running back Le'Veon Bell, who will hit the free agent market himself. The Steelers failed to reach postseason last year for the first time since 2013 after Bell chose not to report rather than play under the franchise tag, while Brown's relationship with the organization unraveled.
