The Raiders win this trade from a strictly football perspective, obviously. They get a likely first ballot Hall of Famer for a 3rd and 5th round pick, not bad for Gruden and company with all the bad press they've gotten.
One thing that's not being talked about, however. Kevin Colbert should be fired. The way he handled this entire situation was idiotic and proved he's generally incompetent as the Steelers' general manager. You could argue that Brown and Le'Veon Bell are the two most talented players the Steelers have had the past five years. Now they're both gone because he was cheap/disrespectful. He also got pennies on the dollar for both. He could have gotten a premium pick for Bell in the trade market and the whole Brown situation should have never happened.
