After a resurgent 72 catch, 1060 yard season from John Brown in 2019, he was banged up and took a seat behind star WR Stefon Diggs in Buffalo in 2020. For this reason, Brown was available on the open market at a discount and the Raiders made the speedy wide receiver an offer.
But according to him, the decision to join the Raiders was based on the presence of Derek Carr at quarterback.
“Who would I like to play for? And when I was with Buffalo, watching Derek Carr play last year and seeing the style of offense, I fell in love with it right then and there and I wanted to be a part of it.
