Antonio Brown celebrates Patriots deal with Instagram cartoon: 'Business is boomin' image

Antonio Brown wasted no time Saturday sharing news of his stunning deal with the New England Patriots.

Just hours after news broke that the wide receiver reportedly signed a one-year deal with the reigning Super Bowl champions, Brown posted a cartoon image of himself on Instagram.

The cartoon shows Brown in a Patriots uniform sitting on a huge pile of cash. He's holding a phone in one hand and a wad of $100 bills in the other hand. Behind Brown in neon lights is a sign reading, "Business is boomin."

Brown was busy on social media Saturday. After the Raiders released him, he posted a YouTube video showing him receiving the news, then running around his backyard flapping his arms like a bird and exclaiming, "I'm free!"

Brown tagged the video with a message: "In this crazy world I have to surround myself with winners. People who protect me. People that in just as much work as me. People who respect me as a human. Time to show out!"

The Patriots have not announced the deal with Brown, but his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN the one-year contract is worth up to $15 million and includes a $9 million signing bonus, another $1 million guaranteed and $5 million in incentives.

As Brown illustrated with his Instagram cartoon, that is a lot of Benjamins.
