Patriots pick up All-Pro wideout on day he’s put by RaidersSurprise moves put end to on-again-off-again melodramaBrown’s release voids more than $29m in guaranteed money Antonio Brown agreed to terms with the New
England Patriots hours after the Oakland Raiders cut him, going from the NFL’s cellar to the defending
Super Bowl champions on Saturday despite wearing out his welcome with two teams in one offseason.
Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed the agreement to the Associated Press. Brown had been scheduled to earn up to $50m from Oakland over the three-year deal. Instead, the Patriots guaranteed him $9m this season, with the potential to earn as much as $15m .
