The Steelers finally unloaded Antonio Brown, the mercurial wide receiver and future Hall of Famer who made it quite clear that he wanted out of Pittsburgh because of differences with Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Tomlin. Brown, who will be 31 this summer and remains one of the league's best pass catchers, is now an Oakland Raider, which means he goes from a perennial Super Bowl contender to a team won four games in 2018, six the year before, and has exactly one winning season since 2003.

Ian Rapaport: The Antonio Brown saga is finally nearing a close. Sources say the #Steelers are dealing AB to the #Raiders in exchange for a third round pick and a fifth round pick in this 2019 draft. Brown will also get a reworked contract that makes him the NFL’s highest paid WR.

Antonio Brown has been Mr. Reliable for the Steelers. He is tied with Marvin Harrison and Brandon Marshall for the most seasons with 100 receptions and 10 receiving touchdowns in NFL history.
