PITTSBURGH -- All the Pittsburgh Steelers were left with after dealing arguably the game's best wide receiver were a few modest draft picks and $21 million in dead money.
Antonio Brown pulled off a savage power play, sabotaging his own trade value while making himself untenable in Pittsburgh on his way to earning nearly $20 million in raises and $30-plus million in guarantees from the Oakland Raiders.
Brown's body slam off the top rope left the Steelers with minimal options. They wanted a first-round pick but would have done a deal days ago if they had it.
