Oakland Raiders wide receiver group will be special in 2019

To kick off their 2019 offseason, the Oakland Raiders swung a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers for All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown. Originally, the Steelers wanted two first round draft picks for Brown, which the Raiders actually had, but first-year general manager Mike Mayock was not having any of that.

After the Steelers dropped their asking price to one first rounder, Mayock still did not budge, and ended up sending a third and fifth round pick to the Steelers for Brown. That move began an offseason that saw the Raiders completely revamp their wide receiver group, which has the opportunity to be very special in 2019.
