Report: Steelers restructure WR Antonio Brown's contract

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have restructured wide receiver Antonio Brown's contract, according to NBC Sports ProFootballTalk.

Citing a league source, PFT reported Wednesday that the Steelers “moved $4 million in Brown’s compensation from 2017 to 2016, pushing his compensation this year to $10.25 million.”

For 2016, Brown’s signing bonus amounts to $8.975 million, with a $1.275 million salary, PFT reported.

PFT noted that a similar restructuring deal for Brown was made in 2015, when he had three seasons left on his contract.

It is unclear how much more Brown will receive in 2017 and for how many more years he will commit to the Steelers.
