Antonio Brown Heading To Oakland
6 years agoThe Raiders have acquired wide receiver Antonio Brown from the Steelers. In exchange, Pittsburgh will receive two 2019 draft picks, reportedly in the third and fifth rounds. The 30-year-old is also expected to receive a significant increase in guaranteed cash which includes performance incentives that could allow him to make over $54 million throughout the next three seasons. Brown, who has spent the past nine seasons in Pittsburgh, is still considered one of the league's top receivers, finishing with 15 touchdown receptions in 2018-19, good for first in the league, in addition to 104 receptions on 168 targets. He will undoubtedly be the top option for quarterback Derek Carr for a Raiders team that struggled at times on the offensive end last season. Subsequently, he will also be one of the first wideouts off the board in fantasy drafts this fall, despite the change in scenery.
