The Antonio Brown saga reached a climax on Saturday, as the tables turned more than once. His ultimate destination: New England, to team with 6x champion QB Tom Brady.
The Antonio Brown saga has generated many headlines over the summer, and especially over the last 5 days. Oakland thought they were getting the best WR in the NFL. Instead, they lose $1M, 3rd Rd & 5th Rd Picks, & the ability to add a premier WR in 2019 pic.twitter.com/PqTqDVeGKF

Arguably the most accomplished WR in the NFL who’s still in his prime, is now the highest-paid WR.
Julio Jones considers himself the best WR in the NFL. While Hopkins has a solid case in 2019, Jones’ overall body of work is worthy of the highest-paid salary. He’s now under contract for the next 5 years and is on the path to retire with the Atlanta Falcons as an all-time great pic.twitter.com/DmnH8Dzk5Q
