As we all know, over the last 3 NFL seasons Antonio Brown has been arguably the best wide receiver in the league. It seems as if he doesn't have a pinnacle on his talent nor stat production.
Here are some stats from from the last three years :
2013: 110 receptions -1499 yards - 8 TD'S
2014: 129 receptions- 1698 yards - 13 TD'S
2015: 136 receptions- 1834 yards - 10 TD'S
Not to mention that a Punt Return Touchdown was tacked on to those stats each year.
On the contrary the top five highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL ( Julio Jones, Dez Bryant, Demaryius Thomas, T.Y. Hilton, A.J. Green ) all failed to accumulate 5,000 receiving yards over the past 3 seasons.
Antonio Brown signed a 5 year/43 million dollar deal back in 2012.... that is about 8.6 million dollars a year.... pretty identical to Steph Curry's current contract situation. (4 years/ 44 million signed in 2012 ) now we DEFINITELY know that contract doesn't equate to his worth.
The top five highest-paid wideouts all are averaging at least 14 million dollars per year.
Antonio says that he is confident that the Steelers will ''take care of him'' and his contract situation.
a deal must be in the works because Antonio actually came to training camp, most wide receivers are divas/cry-baby during contract disputes. I'm predicting a 15-16 million dollar salary for him in his new contract, maybe 4 years/ 60 million. Antonio's spoils are way overdue, but lets see what the Steelers do.
