Former Clemson WR traded for draft pick


by -

Former Clemson receiver Martavis Bryant was traded on night one of the NFL draft Thursday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced the move late Thursday, sending Bryant to the Oakland Raiders for a third round pick (79th overall).

In 2017, Bryant had 50 catches for 603 yards and three touchdowns. Despite two suspensions from the NFL, he's totaled 126 catches for 1,917 yards and 17 touchdowns during his pro career.

Bryant will be an unrestricted free agent after the 2018 season. He received a pay bump this year from $705,000 to $1,907,000 as part of a performance-based league-wide salary clause.

Bryant was a fourth-round draft pick by the Steelers (118th overall) in 2014.
