Hours after the Oakland Raiders released Antonio Brown, the 31-year-old All-Pro receiver reached an agreement with the New England Patriots in a move first reported by Bleacher Report's Master Tesfatsion. Per ESPN'sAdam Schefter, it's a one-year contract worth up to $15 million with a $9 million signing bonus.
Brown's tenure in Oakland was over before it really began. He went to the Raiders in a March trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers, and then signed a three-year, $50.
