Great, the Raiders have gone and rewarded selfish, crazy behavior. This may become the new norm in the NFL for players who have 3 years left on their contract and want more money or a change of scenery. What a poorly run organization.

AB is better than AC. I say good deal for the raiders.

It is only a good deal for the Raiders if he gets in line. If his act remains the same as it was with the Steelers, it will not be a good trade for the Raiders. I hate to say this but it has a feel of the Percy Harvin trade a while ago. No substantial evidence to base that on, but I just have a feeling he will become irrelevant with the Raiders and be gone in a few seasons without contributing but a few bright moment for his new team.

If he turns into T.O. or Harvin the damage he does will be worse then any loss of draft pick. That kind of disease destroys a team, T.O. was always a hard worker and everything but his mouth always caused a rift.

For a 3rd and 5th this was great deal considering everyone knew the Raiders were stocked in the first round.
Mayock and Gruden are two of the finest minds in football. People are comparing Mack and AB......but mack and AC got the Raiders the rebuild Cache. The comparison is muted between the contracts cash hauls. Lets see what they do in the first round. Carr has good reason to be happy and the fan base a little energized.

They do have The Cable issue....

That's all you need to know about the whole ray-duhs deal. Rhymes-with-unable will have turned the entire O-line into turnstiles by this time next year.

They traded for a 31 year old basket case and gave him 20 million. This trade makes very little sense from a rebuild prospective. They don’t have the talent to win now, and by the time their draft picks develop AB and his contract will be an albatross.

We will see. They need an infusion of hope. This is a mega deal. Star attraction. It wipes away the Mack and Cooper talk. It says, We want to win now.....Pittsburg had monkied with ABs contract too much. He had a point.

Antonio Brown "won"? He went to a team quarterbacked by a Captain Checkdown whose OL coach is Tom Cable. He didn't win anything.

Well, other than a reported 3 year $54 million contract with $30 million guaranteed, yeah, I guess he didn't win anything.

AB's new contract is reportedly a three-year pact worth $54.1 million with $30 million guaranteed, which is a far cry from the zero dollars and zero cents that was remaining in guarantees on his Steelers deal.

I do agree though that there will probably be a pretty sharp drop in his production on the field going from the Steelers to the Raiders, but as far as team success, it's not like the Steelers have been getting to, or winning, any Super Bowls recently either.

The drama builds in Oakland ..............

Regardless, Brown has become one of the most powerful players in the league, literally overnight. He’ll be bringing that power to the Black Hole in Oakland, and Gruden will be at the mercy of whether Brown ever chooses to use that power against his new coach, his new quarterback, or anyone else who gets in Brown’s way.

Good deal for AB with the $$ and all but he went from one dumpster fire to another.

I've always hated the Raiders, and I hate the Stealers. I am enjoying watching these two franchises burn.

 

[mrt144]

Of course. Just of course.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

But wait, didn't the so called "experts" claim he was going to the Niners? Wrong, as usual.
