The Raiders are not done plucking top players from top AFC teams.

ESPN.com reported the Raiders plan to sign Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown to a four-year, $66 million deal when free agency opens Wednesday. The move comes just two days after Jon Gruden acquired Antonio Brown from the Steelers for a third- and fifth-round pick and one day after he traded guard Kelechi Osemele to the Jets.

The Trent Brown signing will move Kolton Miller from left to right tackle. According to The Athletic, Gruden referred to Miller as a Pro Bowl left tackle just 10 days ago. But it’s clear that Gruden sees this as a quick rebuild after he tore down last year’s team in his first season, trading Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper from a team that finished 4-12.

Brown’s contract is the highest ever for an offensive lineman after the Giants gave Nate Solder four years and $62 million last year. Brown, at 6-foot-8 and 380 pounds, replaced Solder on the Patriots this season, protecting Tom Brady on the way to a Super Bowl.

The 25-year-old will now be in charge of keeping Derek Carr upright after he got sacked 51 times last season. Carr reacted with a big smiley face on Twitter when the news was first reported.
