A.B.’S RAIDERS DEBUT LIKELY TO BE IN REGINA
Brown, the flamboyant veteran who led the NFL in TD receptions last season, was dealt from Pittsburgh to Oakland on the weekend in exchange for 3rd and 5th round draft picks.
Most importantly for “AB”, he’ll get a lucrative 3-year, $50-million deal from Jon Gruden’s Raiders rather than the 3/38 that the Steelers were offering.
NFL teams’ third preseason game is usually the one of the four where vets see the most playing time so this is a boon for Saskatchewan sports fans.
While the game in Regina hasn’t been officially unveiled yet – nor the date – I’m told an announcement is on the horizon.
