The Oakland Raiders have now secured a quarterback's two best friends over the past 36 hours at a guaranteed cost of $66.75 million guaranteed. On the heels of the earth-shaking acquisition of Antonio Brown, the Raiders intend to sign Patriots LT Trent Brown to a four-year, $66 million deal ($36.75 million GTD) that will make him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It was only last offseason that the Giants poached the Patriots to make LT Nate Solder the NFL's highest-paid blocker. That didn't work out so well, but at least Brown is five years younger and more gifted athletically. We can say this much about Brown: Someone was going to pay him a ton after this wildly successful one-and-done year in Foxboro.
