Sources tell FOX Sports Antonio Brown is seeking a new contract and is mulling a holdout.
Brown signed a six-year, $43.04 million contract in July of 2012. Since then, he's been among the most productive wideouts in the league, racking up 305 catches for 3,984 yards with 26 touchdowns. But his average annual salary of $8.39 million ranks 13th among receivers, so Brown won't attend offseason workouts and is also considering a holdout from both mandatory minicamps and training camp. Brown is absolutely invaluable to the Steelers offense, and he'll likely get a raise if he really digs his heels in. It's now a question of how long the saga will drag out.

As I remember, the Steelers are a team that has a way of getting rid of guys who want more money.
Talk about it!
