Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown being grossly under-paid the past couple of seasons is an elephant in the room many of us have thought about, but chose to turn a blind eye to.
When Mike Wallace declined a contract extension in the summer of 2012, the team then offered the same deal to Antonio Brown; a 5 year deal worth 42.5 million.
At the time, Brown was coming off of a pro bowl season in which he gained 1000 yards receiving and 1000 yards in the return game. However, I felt he was being over-paid at the time based on just one season of breaking out.
