When Antonio Brown was traded to the Oakland Raiders, few were surprised given the near-constant links between the two sides.
It turns out among the most surprised were Brown and agent Drew Rosenhaus.
Brown provided audio of a conversation he had with Rosenhaus during the pre-trade process on his Boomin Experience podcast, during a time it appeared the Raiders' interest was "fading out":
The audio is fascinating because it gives a rare behind-the-scenes look at an interaction between an agent and a player. Rosenhaus updates Brown on the current lay of the land, telling him the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles have perhaps even moved ahead of Oakland in the list of potential destinations.
