- 7 years ago
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Antonio Brown have reached an agreement on a four-year, $68 million extension that makes him the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the contract will be worth more than $15 million annually. Brown, 28, is considered one of the best receivers in the league and has been a key piece of the Steelers' offense for the past several seasons. In 2016, Brown caught 106 passes for 1,284 yards, and 12 touchdowns. Since he entered the league in 2010 as a sixth-round pick, Brown has gone on to rack up the second most receiving yards (8,377) -- only Calvin Johnson, who retired a year ago, has more.
