Analhole Brown Goes to Oakland
-
The Oakland Raiders just got Antonio Brown and Drew Rosenhaus. How long before he wants out of Oakland?

Thank you Flugel, I think we can call him Annoying Brown from now on.
Am I the only one feeling that this tries to solve and hide the Amari Cooper fiasco?

Nope. That was my very first thought.
Yep, mine too. I'm wishing the worst for both Gruden & Brown.

I don't understand a team in complete rebuild mode trading for Brown now...?
Weird.

Sort of. AB is a bit more dangerous than Cooper imo. Good for the Raiders. It seems like a natural fit.
Raiders we’re always the team that the cool kids used in Madden when I was growing up.. maybe it’s the black and silver?
-
I hope everyone realizes how potentially big this whole thing was. Ultimately AB got literally everything he wanted and left the steelers over a barrel. Outside of draft day "I'm not playing there" type deals this has never happened before.
This sets a huge precedent for upcoming CBA. I guarantee the owners are pissed about this big time.

OAK gave up a 3rd and a 5th.
Steal of the young century...

OAK gave up a 3rd and a 5th.
Steal of the young century...
As was said on NFL.com, it boils down to the Raiders got a first round pick, and only gave up a third and fifth swapping Amari Cooper for Antonio Brown....
LOL, where's Vagitron and that first round pick they were going to get for Brown? And some guys thought we got jobbed only getting a 5th for Gordon.... Sure enough, Colbert was pretty desperate to unload Antonio for whatever he could get, and the best news (from a Browns perspective) is the Steelers are stuck with a $21 million cap hit....
Losers- Kevin Colbert, Steelers general manager: Colbert swore up and down that they were comfortable holding on to Brown unless they received "significant compensation" in return. This deal tells a different story.
Trading Brown for only two mid-round picks -- at a significant cost to the team's salary cap -- shows the Steelers were ready to take the best offer possible. And there weren't many good offers to choose from, possibly because Brown only would accept going to a team ready to pay him. Brown will count as $21 million on Pittsburgh's cap this year,
nearly as much as Ben Roethlisberger. Colbert now has to replace Brown's production with far less cap space to do so. Brown certainly deserves his share of blame in how his relationship with the organization deteriorated, but Colbert is the one paying for it. Usually eating anywhere near this much "dead money" only happens when teams have to cut some huge personnel mistake, not the league leader in touchdowns.

I hear ya Nero. Even if they solve the Cooper fiasco, Chicago's favorite Santa Claus is Jon Gruden for the Khalil Mack gift. If you can get a Lawrence Taylor without the off-the-field baggage in a passing era - you don't give him up for the drafting abilities that got Gruden fired in Tampa. Word is he brought a work ethic barometer that matched how impressive his talent is; and the fans got to appreciate that and how it rubbed off on teammates every Sunday. Lucky for Oakland, they hired Mayock in time to do something with some of the exchange value. We shall see...
-
So to recap the Raiders situation, they essentially
lost Khalil Mack (best rusher in the game) Cooper (strong young WR) and 3rd and fifth round picks
to
gain two first round picks (one will be used for a edge rusher) and Brown, admittedly the best WR in the NFL, but 30 years old and for a butt ton of money.
I guess it's hard to validate until the first round picks play out, but I'm not sure I see the logic there.
