How any team could have a deal in place less than ten minutes into the free agent negotiating period is anyone’s guess. Before any of us could get our bearings and settle in for the three-day window, the Raiders broke in the glass, agreeing to terms on a record-settling 4-year, $66 million deal with tackle Trent Brown.
Often times with big signings like this, we have time beforehand to ponder what we would think about such a deal. There wasn’t any time for that here and since the moment it happened I have been trying to align my thoughts.
