Steelers make Brown highest-paid WR in NFL

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Antonio Brown have reached agreement on a four-year, $68 million deal that makes him the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

He is now tied to the Steelers through the 2021 season.

The Steelers had promised to rework Brown's contract this offseason. They restructured his contract last August, advancing $4 million of his 2017 salary into his base salary for 2016.

Brown, 28, is considered one of the best receivers in the league and has been a key piece of the Steelers' offense for the past several seasons.
