I guess AB's strategy is to sacrifice dollars to play for a championship contending team, and then sign a larger dollar contract a year from now.
But it seems to me, at least from a dollars perspective, he would have made the most by fulfilling his contract with the Raiders.
Maybe he is more interested in winning a Superbowl than earning top salary money ? If so, that's cool.

not sure he's taking much if any pay cut to play in New England

"The Patriots have reportedly added an option year worth $20 million onto Antonio Brown's contract for the 2020 season, ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported. The $20 million will reportedly all become guaranteed if the option is executed.

Schefter added that the initial one-year, $15 million deal that New England signed the four-time All-Pro to on Saturday was done to help with cap proration for this season. Brown also received a $9 million signing bonus in the deal."
