Antonio Brown: Most likely destinations after release from Raiders

After nothing but drama in his time as a Raider, Oakland has now released Antonio Brown, who is now a free agent. Where will AB be playing next?

The Raiders traded for Antonio Brown in March, giving up a third and a fifth-round pick for the All-Pro receiver. After rewarding him with a lucrative contract upon his arrival with nearly $30 million of guaranteed money, Brown has been nothing but a distraction since arriving in Oakland.

From a blonde mustache to burnt feet in a cryotherapy chamber in France. From a strike over a helmet to a near-physical altercation with his GM. Antonio Brown just became too big of a headache for the Raiders and their front office to deal with.

After opting to void his guaranteed money due to actions that they viewed as “detrimental to the team”, the Raiders granted Brown’s final wish and released him. Now only time will tell if an arbitrator deems Brown’s actions as such, and whether or not he will ultimately have that money taken from him or not.

But what we do know right now is that Brown has been released. Now, not subject to waivers, Brown is free to sign with any team. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, is already focused on finding AB  a new ball club to join. But who will make that jump? What teams make the most sense? Let’s take a look at a few top options for Antonio Brown in his newfound free agency.
