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]

More and more data points are emerging that say Brown probably isn't that guy.
I can't see trotting out someone like that though. They wanted Williams, they went after Brown.
They're gonna triage it, with a fucking shotgun.
So at that point, you're looking at draftable guys who probably are gonna have to be traded up for.
Fuck, we really need OBJ to play better I guess. [Reply]
I'll have to rewatch before commenting on any of this. That Chargers defense looked like the real deal last night. Pressure came from seemingly everywhere, they did an outstanding job of containing the pocket and there was no separation from our WR's to be found.
It's almost looked like they were a top 3 AFC team that's faced Mahomes twice a year for 5 years or something. [Reply]

Also, stop using sacks as a way to measure how the line played when it comes to Mahomes. In Superbowl 55, when he played with virtual no line, he only took 3 sacks.
Sacks allowed are a terrible way to measure O-line play when you have a great QB. [Reply]
We're not saying anything new, OBJ is a great run blocker but average at pass protection.
Of course you'll get but but finding OTs ever average ones are HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD! Brown doesn't have the feet almost fell on his ass many times against Bosa/Mack the kid doesn't have the footwork or athletic ability.
Some will stick their head in ground never admit that they're wrong. Orlando isn't worth an elite level contract [Reply]
Guys, after watching it again, I think you'd be hard-pressed to watch Orlando Brown 1x1 in that game and find him being a huge problem.
He did get flagged for holding on the Hardman PI play, matched up against Bosa.
But he held up really well against these guys. 1x holding penalty, 1 very clear pressure (vs. Mack) and 1 questionable pressure (against Bosa).
As from the beginning, the structure of the contract for KC is important. But clearly the Chiefs are approaching it from that angle or the contract would be done already. [Reply]

It's also pretty noticeable that his kick step is better and his agility has improved. He's cutting off the tight outside speed rush angle pretty regularly and power rush moves remain non-starters for his matchups. [Reply]

Willie Roaf said the same thing this morning. [Reply]

Outside of Khalil Mack being Patrick's face 80% of the game. Average isn't good [Reply]
