Report: Steelers, Brown restructure deal with more cash upfront

The Pittsburgh Steelers and wide receiver Antonio Brown have agreed to a restructured contract, Pro Football Talk reports.

The deal will reportedly move $4 million Brown was set to earn in 2017 to this season, boosting Brown's 2016 earnings from $6.25 million to $10.25 million.
