Raiders reportedly discussed Antonio Bro

Here's what we know: isn't long for the . Beyond that, much is left to be decided. CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora has said that the Steelers are expecting first-round value for Brown, who will be 31 this offseason, and ESPN's Adam Schefter that a deal is expected to be in place by Chris Paul Jersey Friday. The have been mentioned as a likely landing spot, partly because they have three first-round picks but also because they're in desperate need of a downfield playmaker. Oh, and coach Jon Gruden appears to be really fond of Brown, who remains one of the best players in the league. More NFL "He can run every route you dream up," Gruden said of Brown back on Dec. 5. "I say that about other receivers, but he can run double move. He can run by you. He can run cro sing routes. He's very good after the catch. What's the greatest thing about this man, I've told all of our receivers, if you get a chance to watch him practice Nerlens Noel Jersey , you'll see what unlocks the greatne s in him."He's the hardest-working man, I think, in football," Gruden continued. "Hardest-working player I've ever seen practice. I've seen Jerry Rice. I've seen a lot of good ones. But I put Antonio Brown at the top.

There's also this: The Raiders got burned on the deal. They gave up a third-round pick last April to get the explosive wide Andre Roberson Jersey receiver from Pittsburgh. Bryant was released before the 2018 season, re-signed 10 days later, and appeared in eight games with 19 catches, 266 yards and no touchdowns. By December, the league suspended him indefinitely. Gehlken reports that the Raiders are expected to be interested in soon-to-be free agent , which could complicate any deal involving Brown, who has hinted that he'll want a new contract wherever he lands. Meanwhile, we have the Raiders taking premier edge rushers and one of the fastest wide receivers in the draft.
