Best of Twitter: Oakland Raiders trade for Antonio Brown

It finally happened late Saturday night, or early Sunday morning, depending on your Daylight Savings Time location, but the Oakland Raiders traded for Antonio Brown. In exchange for AB, Oakland gave up two draft picks in 2019, but they were nowhere near the bounty the Steelers had originally requested.

When the trading rumors started, Pittsburgh had been rumored of wanting two first for Brown, a notion that eventually was downgraded to one first rounder. Well, Raiders first-year general manager Mike Mayock gave up way less for him, sending a third and fifth round pick to the Steelers in exchange for the best wide receiver in football.
