The Antonio Brown trade market is heating up, and Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr hopes the star wide receiver gets traded out west. The Raiders own three first-round draft picks this year, so it makes sense that the Raiders might trade one of them to get a deal done.

There has been a lot of drama involving Brown and the Pittsburgh Steelers, but that isn't something Carr thinks would affect the Raiders if a trade went down:

“I would imagine he’s definitely in play,” Carr said, via The Fresno Bee. “I hope he’s in play. It would be great to add a guy like that to your team, talent like that. I don’t know what it’s going to cost. The contract stuff starts getting in the way and they got to figure out numbers and all that kind of stuff. I don’t really like the business side of football. but I just like adding good players to our football team. If it works out in the business side, I know the locker room will be arms wide open to accepting Antonio.”

It isn't even guaranteed that Carr is going to start for the Raiders this upcoming season, as his name has been thrown around in trade chatter. But no matter the quarterback, if Brown is on the outside, the team is going to be a lot better.

Last season for the Steelers, Brown had 104 receptions for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns.
