Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown made it clear that he is hungrier than ever to make his return. Oakland Raiders safety Karl Joseph feels that his team should take advantage.
There is plenty of speculation regarding Brown's next potential landing spot. Joseph posted a message on his Instagram story expressing his interest, via Fallon Smith of the “Keeping It 300” podcast.

Joseph's comments should come as no surprise. Brown will have no shortage of interest from teams looking to acquire his services. It appears the Raiders are among them.
Despite his tumultuous season in Pittsburgh, Brown is still easily one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. He finished the 2018 campaign with 104 receptions for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns. Although he was snubbed from the Pro Bowl due to his lack of participation down the final stretch of the year, there is no question that he brings plenty to the table.
The Steelers have since made it clear that they will have some restrictions when it comes to trading Brown. For starters, they will not be shipping him to any team in the AFC North. They will also not allow him to go to the New England Patriots. In many ways, this has helped boost Oakland's chances since it has been revealed that he is interested in the Bay Area.
Of course, it remains to be seen if the Raiders' front office feels the same way about Brown that Joseph does. The move would certainly come with its fair share of criticism considering how they just parted ways with a younger, Pro Bowl-caliber wideout in Amari Cooper.
