PITTSBURGH -- Odell Beckham Jr. five-year, $90-million extension with the New York Giants knocks Antonio Brown out of the top spot for yearly receiver payouts.
That won't stop Brown from passing the money torch in a social media post this week.
Brown, who signed a four-year, $68-million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers last winter, praised Beckham for setting his value and earning his blessings. Attached was a video clip of the star playmakers hugging it out and praying before a Giants-Steelers game in 2016.
Brown told ESPN before last season that the two friends often exchange offseason workout videos for receiver tips and encourage each other in text messages.
