The Pittsburgh Steelers appear to once again be a franchise on the rise after winning the AFC North last season despite their many defensive woes. The team's success was due in no small part to the emergence of Antonio Brown, who may be the NFL's best wide receiver at the moment.

Brown has been an improving player for several seasons, but last year he finally showed everyone what he was truly capable of on the field, and he helped carry Pittsburgh's offense while giving opposing coaches nightmares. Reports surfaced a few weeks ago that Brown is unhappy with his current contract, but he has no plans to hold out, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Brown is currently in the middle of a six-year, $43 million deal that he signed back in 2012. If he continues to play like he did last season, it will represent possibly the biggest bargain in the entire league for a player that is not on a rookie deal.

Brown skipped some voluntary workouts earlier this offseason, but he has been among the hardest workers so far at Pittsburgh's OTAs, and he says that he has no intention of skipping any activities to try and negotiate a new contract.
"It's not my business to discuss," Brown said. "It's singularly up to my agent. Right now, I'm trying to better my game and prepare for 2015."
When asked if he regretted signing his current deal, Brown replied, "That's totally up to my agent. I'm here singularly focused to get better and better my game. This organization has been nothing but first class to me, believing in my skills since I got here. I'm ready to pay them back with my work ethic."
"I'll be there at training camp, so you guys get ready to see me," he added. "I'll be wearing my same new haircut. I'll be smiling. I'll be ready to go."
