Agent meeting with Steelers in hopes of upgrading Antonio Brown’s deal

Now that he’s helped T.Y. Hilton get paid, agent Drew Rosenhaus is continuing his road show in search of more wide receiver money.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Rosenhaus is going to Jacksonville tomorrow to meet with the Steelers about upgrading wideout Antonio Brown’s contract.

Brown has mostly played nice, insisting he wouldn’t hold out or make a scene, while it has been clear that he’s outperformed the six-year, $43 million deal the Steelers gave him in 2012. He didn’t turn up for voluntary offseason work, but he reported to training camp on time, and in a Rolls Royce.

He’s under contract and the Steelers through 2017, and they don’t typically rework deals with that much time left on them. But Brown has played at such a high level since then it’s easier to justify, and from his standpoint, it can’t hurt to ask.
