News/views: AB’s agent to meet with Steelers

News: Drew Rosenhaus, agent for Antonio Brown, is on his way to Pittsburgh to discuss a “re-worked and improved contract” for his client, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Steelers aren’t interested in negotiating a new deal with Brown right now because they still have him under contract for another three years, according to NFL Network’s Rand Getlin.
Views: Rosenhaus just locked up a five-year, $65 million deal with $39 million in guarantees for the Colts’ T.Y. Hilton, a childhood friend of Brown and a far less productive NFL receiver.
Brown is scheduled to make $6 million this year, $8.25 million in 2016 and $8.7 million in 2017. None of that money is guaranteed.

OK, so that’s a little rough, but this team — unlike any I’ve covered in my career when it comes to self-destructiveness — had to survive 20 harrowing minutes and several Harrisburg misses to prevail, 2-1, Saturday night at the Skyline Sports Complex and finish fifth in the Eastern Conference standings at 11-9-8.
Lebo Moloto and Kevin Kerr scored first-half goals a minute apart, Vini Dantas was an offensive force for the first time maybe all season, and Calle Brown was exceptional down the stretch while also benefiting from several late misfires by the City Islanders.
