ALAMEDA — The idea of Pittsburgh wide receiver Antonio Brown joining the Raiders is gaining steam, courtesy of NFL Network and others.
It’s tempting, no doubt.
Brown would instantly become one of the biggest offensive threats since Tim Brown, who was obviously was no relation and less controversial. Antonio Brown author of six consecutive seasons of 100 or more receptions, would instantly become Derek Carr’s go-to guy.
Yet my understanding is that there isn’t going to be another Brown catching 100 passes for the Raiders this season (Tim had 104 receptions in 1997), regardless of where they call home.
