The Pittsburgh Steelers opened up their voluntary workouts today with one of their premier playmakers noticeably absent, wide receiver Antonio Brown. It appears as though Brown is angling for a new contract despite the fact that he signed a five-year, $42.5 million extension in 2012. Under most other circumstances, I might err more on the side of the team. But in this case, Brown is exactly right and I think the Steelers need to ante up and redo his deal.
Over the past two seasons, you’d be hard pressed to name a receiver who has consistently produced at a higher level than Brown.
