Raiders bring in Antonio Brown

When the deal was made to bring in Antonio Brown from the Pittsburgh Steelers, it was hailed as one of the best in recent memory. At the time, Brown was the best wide receiver in football and would be one of the final pieces to the puzzle on the offensive side of the ball.

Between his helmet, his feet, and then his little video featuring Jon Gruden, Brown did more than enough to warrant his release from the team. When all was said and done, he did not play a single snap with the Raiders, either in the preseason, or the regular season, and it was a complete waste of the third and sixth-round picks they sent to Pittsburgh for his services.

Brown would eventually latch on with New England, before being released from there, and then landed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with whom he won a Super Bowl. He famously undressed inside MetLife Stadium during the game and was subsequently fired from that job as well, and is now unemployed.
