One of the more wild saga in recent memory around the NFL was former Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown and his (very) short-lived tenure with the then Oakland Raiders. When Brown’s relationship with the Steelers’ organization became untenable, Kevin Colbert conducted a trade that sent him to the Raiders for a third- and fifth-round pick in the 2019 offseason.

For a player of Brown’s caliber, that seemed like the bargain of a lifetime for the Raiders. He was fresh off of six-straight Pro Bowl appearances, multiple first-team All-Pro selections and a few years where he was the first or second runner up for AP Offensive Player of the Year.
