Steelers make Antonio Brown highest-paid WR with four-year, $68 million extension

On the same day that the Pittsburgh Steelers ensured one of their offensive stars would be kept under wraps, the team also made a deal to give another one top dollar. The Steelers reached a four-year, $68 million extension with Antonio Brown that makes the wide receiver the highest-paid at his position, a person familiar with the deal's terms told USA TODAY Sports' Tom Pelissero. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the financial aspects of the contract had not been announced. Brown had one year remaining on his existing contract. Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green previously held the high for the position with $15 million average per year. Brown confirmed the deal on Twitter
