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]

We can tag him one more time, and get one more year-and then we'll have to replace him. Assuming he comes to camp again. He might not a second time. He might be pissed off.
Or we can tag and trade him.
People kept asking- "Well, who are you going to replace him with?" And I point out a young LT with experience in a similar offense and playing a pretty high level, that will likely be available for trade, but that's a terrible idea.
If the Chiefs were willing to meet his demands, he would have signed already. The Chiefs aren’t going to reset the market for OBJ.
If I had to guess, he will be back but the numbers will be closer to what the team wanted than what he wants.
For me personally, it all comes down to the numbers. There absolutely is a price that’s too high. If it comes to that, trade him but we should all be prepared to get an unimpressive compensation for him. [Reply]
Let’s say he has improved. It’s a contract year for him. If he gets $25 million a year from KC, how confident are we that he is still as motivated to stay in shape and at the top of his game? That’s certainly a risk with any player, however with a player like OBJ with limited athleticism to begin with I think it’s an even bigger risk. [Reply]

They'll let him walk.
They’ll take a couple of thirds before they just let him walk. They will get something for him but it won’t be a big haul [Reply]
