VIDEO: Antonio Brown's Reaction to Getting Cut by Raiders Was Pure and Unbridled Joy
By Ryan Flores
Antonio Brown's social media team has clearly been working relentlessly up to this moment. Just hours after uploading a highly controversial video on Saturday morning that included audio from a phone call from Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden, his social media team uploaded his immediate reaction upon being officially released by the Raiders on YouTube. Brown was clearly elated to read that he was released, as he even called his grandmother to share the good news.

Antonio has been posting these videos as of late to go against the false narratives that he believes surround him. Now that he's been released by the Raiders, he hopefully won't have to defend himself any longer on social media.
Antonio Brown woke up today in Oakland, in a feud with the Raiders that ended in his release.

He will end his day as a Patriot, getting ready to watch his new team square off Sunday night vs his former Steelers' team.
It took the NFL 100 seasons to produce a story like this.
Brown wasn't a free agent for long, as he was signed by the New England Patriots within a few hours to a deal worth up to $15 million for the 2019 season, including a $9 million signing bonus. He'll now have a chance to compete for a Super Bowl title, and get paid like a top wide receiver for a year.
The Brown debacle in Oakland has officially come to an end. Now the Raiders organization will have to watch yet another star find success elsewhere, just like Amari Cooper and Khalil Mack have in the past year.
