So there's an article on NFL network saying that Orlando Brown is expected to sign for 6 years $145 mil.
That comes to $24.16 mil/yr and makes him the highest paid offensive lineman in football. It also would give him the 19th highest salary per year in the NFL
How would you feel if that is the contract he ended up signing?
I'm fine with it. He is a top 5 LT and he's only 26 next season. A young great LT is a guy you can't let leave. [Reply]

If this is true OBJ is a moron.
Oh Well.
If OBJ wants to hold out that's fine. Go grab Fisher and see what Luca Niang looks like during camp. That can't break the bank. I think Fish would love the opportunity.
The longer this goes on, I think we end up trading OBJ after the season. Sorry, but KC is such a great team to play for, and its not like they are disrespecting him with what they are offering. And I'm sure Veach is looking at the young guys on this team knowing he's going to have to spend some real money to keep the core of the team together. [Reply]

Sounds like there's no bad blood, and Brown is willing to bet on himself. If he earns it, he will get his contract. If not, he will have to lower his price, or try to get it somewhere else. It's that simple.

I disagree.
If we had Silver Dick we would be talking about the need to draft his eventual replacement. Dude is a machine, but he's 33 and has had some health issues. Plus, if we had Williams we wouldn't have Thuney who is 3 years younger and always plays. [Reply]

Probably why we took shots with Kinnard and Niang. If your going with the draft your going to have to get somewhat lucky and develop them. Because most of the can't miss locks are gone early in the first. [Reply]
