From the Steelers Twitter account...

 

We have traded WR Martavis Bryant to the Raiders for their third round pick (75th overall).

Everyone looks like a winner on this move.

And up goes JuJu's keeper value!

This is a great move if Bryant shows up with his big boy pants on.

 

Think this lowers numbers for Cooper and Jordy.

 

It should help out the run game.

 

He thinks he's a true WR1. Now or never

Although I think this is a decent team move by Oakland I don't forsee anything but a hit or miss WR3 in Bryant in fantasy. Unless for some reaeon Carr falls in love with him. Even then...

If Coopers numbers go any lower, he would be retired.

 

I think M Bryant will help the Raiders if he can keep his head in the game.

 

I think him joining the Raiders really does hurt in ff.

 

I'm not sure Carr is good enough to feed all of them.

The Steelers removed $1.35 million from current salary cap in the trade of Martavis Bryant. The team was already under the cap almost $2 million so now they have enough money to pay the rooks being drafted.

 

The Steelers received QB Mason Rudolph for Martavis and a seventh round pick at the end of day two. The Steelers gave up a 7th round pick to Seattle to move up from 76 to 79 to get ahead of the Bengals who had the 77 and 78 picks.

 

The icing on the cake is that the Steelers drafted Rudolph's teammate at Oklahoma State and best WR James Washington in the second round.

 

Seriously, this is the best I have felt about our backup QB since Tommy Maddox was the starter and headed towards 5,000 yards in 2004.

And you should, I think it's a very good pick up for the Steelers m

 

Congrats.

Congrats.

Thanks Weep.

 

Highest pick the Steelers have chosen a QB since Big Ben.

Yeah I just read that, agree with all your points, letting go of Bryant was a very good move.

 

They pick up two very good teammates that could develop with each other very nicely.

So Marquette King had character concerns but Martavis is worth a 3rd?

 

10 years Oakland/Vegas.

 

10. Years...
