Antonio Brown wants Steelers to give him new contract; may holdout

It's hard to not picture Antonio Brown on the field when Week 1 opens for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Antonio Brown has not only been one of the NFL's best overall players during the past two seasons, but he's also been one of the most underpaid players.

The NFL's leading receiver of the past two seasons has been making under $9 million per year after signing a five-year, $42 million extension back in 2011. If Brown gets his way, that won't be the case for much longer.

Per Fox Sports' Mike Garafolo, Brown wants a new deal and my consider holding out if one doesn't come:

The All-Pro wide receiver, who has caught 239 passes in the past two seasons combined, will be skipping the voluntary workout program and is mulling sitting out mandatory minicamp and perhaps even training camp in an attempt to secure a new contract, sources have told FOX Sports.
