WR Brown on bond with Carr: Making 'deposits'

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- While Oakland Raiders receiver Antonio Brown was not asked Tuesday about his severed relationship with his old quarterback after Ben Roethlisberger apologized for his treatment of him in Pittsburgh, Brown did heap praise on his new QB, Derek Carr.

Brown also shined some light on how he's getting along with new teammate Vontaze Burfict, who once knocked Brown out of a playoff game on a hit to the head when with the Cincinnati Bengals.

"It's tremendously important to have a relationship off the field because playing football, you get mentally tired," Brown said after the Raiders' Week 2 OTA practice.
