Antonio Brown

Pittsburgh Steelers star Antonio Brown has become the best wide receiver in the game in many people’s opinion, yet he’s been out-earned by Austin’ contract. On a separate note, Brown is due to become an unrestricted free agent in 2018.

Brown’s total 2016 total receiving stats:

  • 106 total receptions
  • 1,284 total receiving yards
  • 12 touchdowns
  • 2016 Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro

Signing bonus: $8 and a half million

Guaranteed money: $8 and a half million

Total contract worth: Little under $10 and a half million.
