PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - The Antonio Brown saga has almost come to an end.

He was traded to the Oakland Raiders on Sunday morning for a third and fifth round draft pick. It will become official on Wednesday.

The organization was hoping for at least a first round pick, but that was not the case.

“Antonio ruined a lot of that with his actions and his words over the last couple of months,” said Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers Writer, Ed Bouchette, during an interview with KDKA Radio on Monday morning.

Brown celebrated the news by making the Instagram post below.

“Antonio Brown is a big loss, but they’ve lost guys like Hines Ward, Emmanuel Sanders, Santonio Holmes, Mike Wallace, and they move on,” Bouchette explains. 

This is not the only Pro Bowler the Steelers will lose this week; Le'Veon Bell hits free agency on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. eastern time.
