The Pittsburgh Steelers are working through their class of incoming rookies, signing players to their first NFL contracts.
Most recently, sixth-rounder Antonio Brown has agreed to terms on a contract that includes, per a league source, a signing bonus of $73,075.
Brown inked a three-year deal; the Steelers are one of the few teams who don’t require four-year contracts for players drafted in the later rounds.

A lot of teams don’t and they don’t pay that much in signing bonus money, either.
He has potential to step right in as a punt returner or in the slot even though he was a sixth rounder… Good pick/value
