Five reasons the Raiders made the right move in their reported trade for Antonio Brown:
1) Derek Carr needed a go-to receiver he could trust
For whatever reason, things went south went Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper. Crabtree, in his final season, wasn’t even on the field, and Cooper sagged statistically in his final two seasons. If that happens with Brown, it’s a disaster. Yet there’s no reason to think it should. Brown will be extremely motivated in Year 1 for sure. And even when his behavior seemed erratic with Pittsburgh, Brown never stopped producing.
