The news of the trade came after Ian Rapoport reported that Brown had been traded to the Buffalo Bills two days ago, which Brown responded with a “fake news” retort in the comments section on Instagram. Before news broke of the trade, Brown posted an image of himself photoshopped into a Raiders uniform on his Twitter and Instagram accounts:

Minutes later, he posted a video of him and Raiders quarterback Derek Carr chatting during this year’s Pro Bowl:
