Antonio Brown gets 4M raise after Steele

[lovelystyle]

The have restructured 's 2016 salary, CBS Sports Insider Jason La Canfora . Specifically, the team moved $4 million owed Brown from 2017 to 2016. Steelers lower his base salary this year and put $4M NFL Baltimore Ravens Jersey  of salary due in 2017 into a signing bonus now. Any new $ would come Nico Siragusa Jersey  via new deal in 17 Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) The boost means Antonio Brown . Brown signed a five-year, $43 million deal before the 2012 season. At the time it seemed like a lot of money for a 2010 sixth-round pick who had only one season of production under his belt (in 2011, Brown had 69 receptions for 1,108 yards and 2 touchdowns, and that was with still running go routes in Pittsburgh.)But Brown, who Ray Lewis Jersey  is now in his prime and pretty much unstoppable, has outperformed his current deal. It's why, almost a year ago, the Steelers restructured his contract, advancing him Brandon Carr Jersey  $2 million for the 2015 season.So why the annual restructures? The Steelers typically don't renegotiate until a player is heading into the final season of his deal. Brown's contract runs through 2017, which means that Pittsburgh will have to make him  Hayden Hurst Jersey the league's highest-paid wide receiver this spring (or close to it). And if they don't, fully expect someone else to do it after the '17 season.  Either way, busine s, as likes to say, is boomin'.Boomin  Antonio Brown (@AntonioBrown84)
