Fans continue to roast Antonio Brown

Some fans found the amount too low. And rightfully so. The Pittsburgh Steelers whipped up a contract for him. Antonio Brown received a new four-year, $68 million contract from the Pittsburgh Steelers after a couple of years of complaining about his compensation. Brown became the highest-paid receiver in the NFL because of the $19 million signing bonus contained in the contract. After accumulating 6,300 yards and 53 touchdowns over the previous four seasons, AB deserved it.
