The Antonio Brown trade to the Raiders over the weekend sent shockwaves across the NFL. Brown was dealt to the Raiders in exchange for a 3rd and 5th round draft pick in this years NFL Draft while also getting a new contract from the Raiders which will give him 30 million dollars in guarantees.
Some people have praised Antonio Brown's ability to get everything he wanted in a league that is built by design to give the owners all the power while others have criticized the Steelers for allowing a player of his caliber to abandon the team without getting much compensation back in return.
Tim Benz from ESPN Pittsburgh joined the Scott & Jeremy Show today on 105.7 The Fan to give us the Pittsburgh perspective on the Antonio Brown trade. Tim talked about the frustration in Pittsburgh towards Antonio Brown. He doesn't think Brown's tactics of getting traded are a blueprint for other star players to get what they want and he also addressed the relationships inside the locker room that eventually led to this trade.
