This Trade is a Victory for Antonio Brown Plain and Simple

Welcome to the new age.

Welcome to the age where petulance, greed and arrogance wins.

Welcome to the age where one person can dictate all the parameters to an organization despite seemingly having no power in the matter.

Antonio Brown got his wish. He’s no longer a Pittsburgh Steeler. He is now an Oakland Raider and he’ll get his shiny new contract as well. The Steelers dealt him to the Silver and Black in a late-night trade that garnered them only a third and fifth round pick for the best receiver in the game. This comes on the heels of numerous potential trades that were shot down by Brown simply because they were places he didn’t want to go or because the money wasn’t good enough.
