Electronic billboards saying "Thank You Pittsburgh" went up around the Pittsburgh area Wednesday evening.

The billboards went up just moments after Brown made his first appearance as a member of the Oakland Raiders.

The Raiders acquired Brown from Pittsburgh for third- and fifth-round draft picks.

Brown also gets a new three-year contract from the Raiders that includes $30 million guaranteed. The total could reach $54 million when it's all said and done.
