Apparently he is getting another 12 million to his current 3 yr deal.

What did we get in return? Aside from liberated from this fool?
Glad he’s gone.
The sun will rise tomorrow.
Too bad they didn’t send Tomlin with him....

If Colbert got #24 or better then he's a fucking magician.

Another $4M per year sucks, but if you're Colbert you have to play the hand you're dealt. Sucks for all of us that wanted to see AB taught a lesson and lose on this.

Nm looks like a 3rd and 5th. I would have rather them let him rot on the bench than get that little for him.

Howard Griffith had to resort to chop-blocking him during the 1997 AFC Championship Game. An incredulous Kirkland asked Griffith, “Why do you have to use cheap tactics like chop-blocking?” Griffith replied “Why do you have to be a 300-pound linebacker?”

Pretty sure the Raiders will be on the hook for any new money.

At this point, if they got #41 in this year's draft, and unloaded the turd, that's a win.

OAK just doubled it's "fans" with PIT folks tuning in waiting for AB to fail and then meltdown.

Didn't mean to imply they weren't. Just that it sucks to see AB rewarded for this bullshit.

If it's a 3rd and a 5th that's tough to swallow. But, to be honest, I was thinking earlier today that I'd settle for an R3 when it was looking like he might be almost untradeable. Although those two picks basically add up to a late R2.

Wow.

We get a 3rd and a 5th and he gets an extra $12 million?

Brown won that one for sure.

Nice job, KC!

Raiders have 2nd pick in round 3 and 3rd pick in round 5, so almost like a 2nd and 4th

I’m hoping this news isn’t caught in a daylight savings time change time warp, only to disappear in the morning. Figured if it was going to be anyone it was going to be the Raiders. There was virtually zero chance he’d have been willing to contribute positively to the team if a trade wasn’t made.

I'd agree with you if PIT wasn't trying to win a SB. But he had about $40M left on his contract over the next 3 years....that's money for a top-tier FA.

But I'm not sure an R3 and R5 this year would really make me move him before the draft. Yeah, you want picks this year but it seems like you could do better if it wasn't a foreclosure sale.

This wouldn't be so bad if we weren't taking a gigantic cap hit as well. The hit plus the underwhelming return just sucks.

If Tomlin isnt a mess of a coach in preparing for and playing Oakland....well, he just added to the mess he created.

Yep.

This is going to be an interesting development for the 2020 CBA, not to mention Leveon Bell. There's a big standoff coming over shit like this and guaranteed money. The owners are going to have zero tolerance for what AB pulled.

All the owners have to do is agree to stoo testing for bud and the players will fold.

Brown to the Raiders for a 3rd and a 5th.

Should have taken the original offer of a 2nd and 4th.

Whatever, I’m just glad this is all over.

Fuck your Antonio Brown.
