#AntonioBrown #Raiders  #NFL The trade sending Antonio Brown to the Raiders isn’t official yet, but an agreement is in place for the wideout to land with a new team and sign a new contract when he gets there. Brown’s desire for a new contract that would make him the league’s highest-paid receiver was seen as the biggest obstacle to a deal with the Bills that was in play late last week. During a Sunday appearance on NFL Network, Brown’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said the Bills “decided it wasn’t a great fit for them” while talking to the Steelers and that the decision not to move forward didn’t come down to his client. “You know what, I don’t know that there was ever an option for us, quite frankly,” Rosenhaus said. “We never got in that position. It really wasn’t something that was up to us to decide. I don’t think the Steelers and the Bills were able to work something out.” Rosenhaus said Brown was happy about the “fresh start” he’s getting with the Raiders and cited head coa...

#AntonioBrown  #PittsburghSteelers #NFL I’m not the only one who thinks that. I just heard Adam Schefter on ESPN say, “Maybe he’s trying to [act out] to intentionally to lower the return.” Schefter and Louis Riddick agreed that the potential return for Brown is decreasing every day.

In the case of one team, it’s something I know.” “I’d be shocked if a team gave up a [first-round pick],” Schefter said. “You’re talking about a player who’s raised a lot of question marks. … There’s not a team in the league that’s going to be willing to give up a one at this point in time.” Riddick: “I think [the return is] on a sliding scale, and I think the scale is sliding downward. It’s becoming a buyers market.” Schefter: “Mr. Big Chest here is looking for a war chest of money. … The more he talks, the more he’s on social media,...

#AntonioBrown  #PittsburghSteelers #NFL Antonio Brown is making his trade request about his contract. The embattled Pittsburgh Steelers receiver said on an Instagram video that he's not playing without more guaranteed money. Brown has told the Steelers he wants to be dealt and is using social media to reinforce that desire. "If your squad out there want to win and your squad want a hungry wide receiver who's the best in the whole world, someone hit my phone," Brown said into his phone camera while working on an elliptical. "Tell them I ain't doing no unguarantees. I ain't even gonna play myself no more for this NFL, you heard." Brown has no more true guarantees left on his current deal. The five-year, $72.7 million extension he signed in 2017 includes base salaries of $12.625 million, $11.3 million and $12.5 million. Those relatively modest numbers are considered a selling point in a trade. Brown is due a $2.5 million roster bonus on March ...
