On Wednesday, when NFL trades become official, the Oakland Raiders will have their greatest receiving threat since Tim Brown.
Antonio Brown, acquired in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers late Saturday, has caught at least 100 passes in six consecutive seasons, an NFL record. He caught 104 last season for 1,297 yards and a league-best 15 touchdowns.
The Raiders haven’t had a 1,000-yard receiver the last two seasons, and the last guy with a double-digit TD total was Tim Brown in 2000 with 11.
And what did it cost the Raiders to get this future Pro Football Hall of Famer?
