Antonio Brown has restructured his contract.
A messy salary-cap situation has given the Steelers restructure fever. Signed to a six-year, $43.04 million deal just last July, Brown was due $4.5 million between salary and bonuses. He's reportedly converted all but $650,000 of his salary to a signing bonus, creating $3.08 million in space. Feb 27 - 2:53 PM

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown believes the Steelers' locker room had "issues" last season.

"It was definitely different — guys weren’t really together," Brown said on SportsCenter. Brown alluded to teammates only playing for themselves, and believes the Steelers could have made a Super Bowl run had they all been on the same page. It's quite possible Brown is referring to soon-to-be former teammate Mike Wallace, whose contract situation has been at the forefront of his mind for over a year at this point. Although he's coming off an up-and-down season, Brown could emerge as an every-week WR2 in Wallace's absence.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown said he's prepared to step in as the Steelers' No. 1 wideout in 2013.

Brown appears to have come to grips with the fact that free agent Mike Wallace will be playing elsewhere in 2013. "I am always ready," he said. "I am ready no matter who is here, no matter who goes." Brown averaged 8.1 targets per game last season, a number we'd expect to rise in 2013. There's plenty of upside here.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown caught two passes for 22 yards and a touchdown and added two rushes for -6 yards versus the Browns in Week 17.

Armed with a $42.5 million extension in part due to Mike Wallace's contract demands, Brown's production was down across the board in 2012. Limited to 13 games by a mid-season high-ankle sprain, Brown posted 66 receptions for 787 yards and five touchdowns while losing three full yards on his punt-return average. Brown isn't a true No. 1 receiver, but he may be forced into the role with Mike Wallace likely to seek greener pastures. Brown will be a borderline WR2/3 in fantasy drafts next summer.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown had five catches for 97 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

Brown consistently beat Bengals CB Adam Jones and scored from 60 yards out on a strike from Ben Roethlisberger at the end of the first half. He secured five of his six targets and was arguably the best player on the field for the Steelers. Since returning in Week 13, Brown has 22 receptions for 266 yards and three touchdowns. The Steelers face the Browns in their regular season finale.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown caught eight passes for 76 yards and a touchdown in Pittsburgh's Week 15 loss to the Cowboys.

It was a perfectly fine afternoon from a fantasy perspective, but Brown wounded the Steelers with a host of mental mistakes. Brown fumbled twice — losing one — and cost the Steelers field position by lining up too deep on a late fourth-quarter punt. Then with the Steelers looking to convert a 3rd-and-26 with 0:47 remaining in a tie game, Brown inexplicably ran out-of-bounds on an 11-yard grab, enabling the Cowboys to keep a timeout. It was the kind of performance that lands a player in the doghouse, though the Steelers may not have that option after Emmanuel Sanders departed with a rib injury. Brown will be a WR3 for the fantasy finals against Cincinnati.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown (illness, probable) says his ankle still isn't 100 percent, but nothing will hold him out for Week 15 versus the Cowboys.

Brown says there remains a "stinging pinch" in his right ankle when he aggressively plants that foot in the turf. "I can't make that move to do what's necessary without feeling the pain," said Brown. It might explain why Brown has only reeled in nine of his 19 targets since returning from the high-ankle sprain in Week 13. He checks in as a middle-of-the-pack WR3 this week.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown (illness) was held out of Steelers practice Friday but is listed as probable for Week 15 at Dallas.

Brown will be in the starting lineup against the Cowboys with 48 hours to get over his sickness. Chris Wesseling ranks him 38th among receivers this week.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown caught four passes for 35 yards with a touchdown in the Steelers' Week 14 loss to the Chargers.

Brown had a rough day. He hauled in just four of his nine targets and was the target of a botched lateral that went for a Chargers touchdown. Brown did salvage his day late when he caught a meaningless 1-yard touchdown from a healthy Ben Roethlisberger with 58 seconds left. Brown will be a mere low-end WR3 against the Cowboys in Week 15.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown (ankle) is probable for Week 14.

Brown got in full practices on Thursday and Friday after being held out for rest purposes on Wednesday. With Ben Roethlisberger back at quarterback, Brown is the No. 38 receiver in Chris Wesseling's Week 14 rankings.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown, Mike Wallace and Emmanuel Sanders were held out of Wednesday's practice for rest purposes.

In other words, there's no reason to worry if you saw one of your WR2/3s missed practice. All three players should be back on Thursday, and probable on Friday's injury report.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Returning from a three-week absence, Antonio Brown caught five passes for 58 yards in Pittsburgh's Week 13 win over the Ravens, adding one rush for four yards.

Much to his fantasy owners' chagrin, Brown also tossed an interception on a trick play. The good news is, Brown appeared 100 percent healthy, and drew a team-high 10 targets. Although he's averaging "just" 5.2 catches for 61.8 yards, Brown will be an acceptable WR2 for Week 14 with Ben Roethlisberger tentatively expected back.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown and SS Troy Polamalu are active for Week 13 against the Ravens.

As expected. Polamalu will be making his first appearance since Week 5, while Brown is returning from a three-game absence. Although Brown will start opposite Mike Wallace, he's a low-end WR3 with Charlie Batch making his second straight start for the Steelers.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown (ankle) is officially probable for Week 13 after getting in a full week of practice.

Brown is ready to return against the Ravens after missing Pittsburgh's past three games, but with Charlie Batch under center, he'll be hard to trust as a WR3. He's Rotoworld's No. 35 receiver for Week 13.

Antonio Brown - WR - Steelers

Antonio Brown (ankle) is practicing in full this week.

Brown is ready to roll after missing three weeks of action. The question is, who will be chucking him passes on Sunday? If it's Ben Roethlisberger, Brown will be a high-end WR3. If it's Charlie Batch, owners would be best served to give him another week off.
