Last season, the Oakland Raiders finished up the campaign with Jordy Nelson atop the depth chart at wide receiver, and very little behind him. In 2019, the front office made a concerted effort to improve this position group, bringing in elite talent like Antonio Brown in a trade, as well as guys like Tyrell Williams, Ryan Grant, and J.J. Nelson via free agency.
While the team looked to be at full strength heading into their Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos, the wheels fell off on Tuesday night. Brown posted his fine letter to Instagram, setting off a firestorm that resulted in him going after general manager Mike Mayock at practice, threatening to punch him.
