PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Pittsburgh Steelers trickled off the field in small groups, sweaty and a little spent from the first real day of football in nearly five months, even if it was just practice in shorts.
Antonio Brown lingered, as happens whenever the All-Pro wide receiver has his No. 84 jersey pulled on. He spent 20 minutes helping linebacker Sean Spence with a series of stretches and sit-ups.
Brown hardly looked like a guy ready to hold out for more money.
The three-time Pro Bowler insisted Tuesday he has no plans to get into a contract showdown with the Steelers even after questions surfaced during the offseason about whether he would skip training camp in hopes of landing a raise.
“I’ll be there at training camp so you guys get ready to see me,” Brown said with a smile.
