Raiders we would like to forget played for the Chiefs and Buccaneers

Raiders legend Tim Brown finished his career in Tampa Bay
With the sixth pick in the 1988 NFL Draft, the then-Los Angeles Raiders selected Notre Dame wide receiver, Tim Brown. Brown was fresh off being the first wide receiver to win the Heisman Trophy after a standout career at Notre Dame as a wideout and return specialist.
Once Brown put on the Silver and Black, he quickly became one of the best players in football, carving out a career that would land him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A nine-time Pro Bowler, Brown had plenty of signature moments with the Raiders, but his time with the team ended when he did not want to take a smaller role in the offense.
With his career with the Raiders over, Brown landed with his former head coach, Jon Gruden in Tampa Bay, playing the final season of his career with the Bucs. Against the Raiders in his first game back in Oakland, Brown actually caught his 100th touchdown, putting a little more salt in the wound.
After the 2004 NFL season, Brown signed a one-day contract with Oakland, retiring as a member of the Raiders franchise. Still, even today, seeing Brown in pictures wearing a Tampa Bay jersey is just weird.
