Pittsburgh will send the all-pro wide receiver to Oakland for third- and fifth-round selections, after his relationship with the team became frayed.
Antonio Brown has topped 100 catches and 1,200 receiving yards in each of the pass six seasons with Pittsburgh.
Brown also receives the new contract he’d been seeking as part of a trade. The three-year deal will pay him a maximum of about $54 million and includes $30.125 million in guaranteed money. His previous deal was to pay him about $38.9 million over the next three seasons. [John Clayton: Where will Le’Veon Bell, Nick Foles and other NFL free agents sign? Here are 10 predictions.]
But coexisting with Roethlisberger and the Steelers became increasingly difficult. He did not play in the Steelers’ regular season finale, despite the team still being in playoff contention, after reportedly having a heated argument with Roethlisberger during the week. Brown chafed at Roethlisberger’s public criticisms of his route-running and made it clear that he wanted to be traded even with three seasons remaining on his contract. The Steelers decided to accommodate him.
