Big-Money Contracts make the WR baffled

Antonio Brown appears for an interview with TMZ Sports Show on FS1. While he talks about various subjects, he hollers over other wide receivers getting large contracts. He can’t help but question how he has so far not landed his multimillion-dollar contract yet.

He mentioned during the interview, “I still feel like I can put up big numbers, and I see what these guys are getting paid. I just wonder why my value isn’t being upheld as the same.

Browns’ comments may reflect the fact over the Multi-Million dollar deal made available for Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill during the offseason. While some people may consider it as criticism, one cannot view this assertion as a jab, since Antonio Brown believes they are deserving of all that.

Further in the interview, Antonio expresses his gratitude to the wideouts, stating that he is happy and thankful. They went one step farther and raised their pricing. He’s also thankful that all those guys are getting the treatment they deserve.
