Report: Steelers ship WR Brown to Raiders

The Oakland Raiders acquired wide receiver Antonio Brown from the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night, according to multiple media outlets. The Steelers will receive third- and fifth-round draft picks in exchange for the eccentric wide receiver, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Raiders will add money to Brown's existing contract, which now calls for $50.1 million over the next three years with $30.1 million guaranteed.

Brown quickly embraced the deal. He posted a photo illustration of himself in a Raiders uniform only minutes after the deal was first reported. The 30-year-old wideout now becomes the top offensive threat in Oakland after a remarkable but sometimes turbulent nine-season stint with Pittsburgh. Brown has surpassed 1,250 receiving yards in six straight years and hauled in double-digit touchdowns in four of his past five seasons.

Last season, Brown caught 104 passes for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns. He has 837 receptions for 11,207 yards and 74 touchdowns in his career. --Field Level Media
