The Steelers made 3 separate trades in recent seasons, all involving receivers going one way or the other (Martavis Bryant, Ryan Switzer, and Antonio Brown).
In total, here is what the Steelers got out of those 3 deals:
WR Ryan Switzer
Played in all 16 games last year, and projects to be our primary return man and slot receiver this season after beating out the likes of Eli Rogers and Diontae Spencer in camp.
A 2018 3rd round pick (79th overall)
We traded this pick along with 7.220 to move up 3 spots to take QB Mason Rudolph at 3.76
A 2019 3rd round pick (66th overall)
We drafted WR Diontae Johnson here
A 2019 5th round pick (141st overall)
We drafted TE Zach Gentry here
A 2019 6th round pick (175th overall)
We drafted LB Sutton Smith here.
In total, here is what the Raiders got out of those 3 deals:
WR Martavis Bryant
Played in 8 games last season (2 starts) before being indefinitely suspended from the league yet again.
WR Antonio Brown
Frostbitten feet, helmet issues, fines for missing practices, threatening to punch his GM, and facing a potential suspension that could possibly void all of the remaining guaranteed money in his contract before he played a single game in the silver and black.
A 2019 5th round pick (158th overall)
They traded this pick along with 7.218 to move up 9 spots to take WR Hunter Renfrow at 5.149Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment

So he secretly taped his conversation with Gruden; what a shock. This guy clearly needs a psychological evaluation. And a drug test along with testing for CTE.Comment

I think what AB realizes in all of this is no one cares about him. So like a petulant child, he needs to act out to get the attention he craves.sigpicComment

It’s the opposite. Well, actually it’s both. Does the FO care about his health or just his talent?
I think AB knows the FO is willing to pay him huge money and that tells him he has the power to act a fool and still play every week.
Tomlin suspending him was probably the first time he ever actually was punished for his actions.Comment

By fining Antonio Brown $215,073.53 last night for conduct detrimental to the team on Sept. 4, the Raiders voided the $29.125 million worth of guaranteed money in his deal, per league sources.
This could help explain why Brown is now asking the Raiders for his release.
