It’s too bad the Steelers don’t own the Raiders on the field the way they own them during the offseason.
Last year, the Steelers traded Martavis Bryant to the Raiders for a third-round draft pick that eventually turned into Mason Rudolph. The latter might only be a backup quarterback, but unlike Bryant he’s on an NFL roster.
Then this year the Steelers shipped Antonio Brown to Oakland for a third- and a fifth-round draft pick. Considering Brown’s antics, that deal is looking better for the Steelers every day.
For about five years the Steelers thought they could get back to the Super Bowl with fireworks on offense.
