By freeing themselves of Brown’s $17 million per year salary, the Steelers will actually recoup $19.8 million a year in cap space.
NFL transactions can’t be deemed “official” until the new league year commences on Wednesday. Brown joins a Raiders’ offense that ranked 18th in the league in passing efficiency, averaging 234.4 yards per game.
