Arguably one of the biggest trades of the offseason happened Saturday when the Oakland Raiders shipped a third-round and a fifth-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in return for superstar wide receiver Antonio Brown. With all the rumors and speculation swirling, when the verbally agreed upon trade was first announced by NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, social media couldn't contain itself.
Take a look below at all the best social reactions from the trade:

The Antonio Brown saga is finally nearing a close. Sources say the #Steelers are dealing AB to the #Raiders in exchange for a third round pick and a fifth round pick in this 2019 draft. Brown will also get a reworked contract that makes him the NFL’s highest paid WR.

Mike Mayock’s first deal as @raiders GM is to acquire Antonio Brown and make him the highest paid WR in the game just 2 months after he was reported to leave his team hanging in a must-win game.
