The Pittsburgh Steelers no longer have to deal with wide receiver Antonio Brown as they traded the disgruntled player to the Oakland Raiders Saturday night and reportedly for two selections in this year’s draft, a third and fifth rounder. Another tiny positive related to Brown being dealt now is that the Steelers will no longer be on the hook for the $2.5 million roster bonus the wide receiver was due on the fifth day of the new league year.
However, the Steelers will eat a lot of dead money as part of them trading Brown to the Raiders.
