26CornerBlitz Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 @AdamSchefter Steelers and Antonio Brown on verge of a restructured contract expected to be completed shortly, per league source. @AntonioBrown84 Boomin @RosenhausSports #Steelers @MikeGarafolo Antonio Brown was due $6.25m this year. Will now earn north of $10m, source says.

Will now earn north of $10m, source says. I'll bet it came with some assurances that he'll get a brand new deal next offseason, because $10M is still remarkably underpaid for the most productive WR in the league.

When he gets his new deal, it'll be one to keep an eye on for how it will impact the Bills and Sammy.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 I'll bet it came with some assurances that he'll get a brand new deal next offseason, because $10M is still remarkably underpaid for the most productive WR in the league. Feels a little Tyrod-ish to me. "Look, you've clearly outplayed your deal so we are going to throw you some extra cash. After this year we can further get you in line with where you belong."
26CornerBlitz Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 @AdamSchefter Antonio Brown got no new years added, and Steelers are promising to give him a true extension after this season, per source.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 @RapSheet Breakdown: #Steelers WR Antonio Brown gets $10.5M this year (with $8.975M signing bonus) and a promise of a new deal next year, source said

26CornerBlitz Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 @AlbertBreer So Brown was set to have $6.25M base in '16, $8.71M base in '17 ... Now, he has $8.975M bonus/$1.275M base in '16, $4.71M base in '17. @Gil_Brandt More receptions in last 2 years (265) than any player in a 2-year span in NFL history. Great in fantasy and reality. @AdamSchefter Antonio Brown’s reworked contract also will save the Steelers about $500,000 against this year’s salary cap, per source.
jr1 Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 what's the point of a salary cap if you can cheat like this?
NoSaint Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 what's the point of a salary cap if you can cheat like this? which part did you find to be cheating?
MarkyMannn Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 When he gets his new deal, it'll be one to keep an eye on for how it will impact the Bills and Sammy. Sammy has put up about half the numbers that Brown has put up over the last two years
26CornerBlitz Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 Sammy has put up about half the numbers that Brown has put up over the last two years I agree. But we have yet to see the best of Sammy.
White Linen Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 I agree. But we have yet to see the best of Sammy. Antonia Brown targets - 2014/181, 2015/193 Sammy Watkins targets - 2014/128, 96 I agree. Show him the darn ball and he'll get it done.
BuffaloWings Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 This better not be a jinx on him now...he's my first pick in fantasy this year.
LeviF Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 This better not be a jinx on him now...he's my first pick in fantasy this year. Nah that'll be next year after he really gets paid.
