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]

Sorry, help me out, what exactly is angiid? Is that a noun or an adjective? [Reply]

First, the list you’re referencing has 9 right tackles on it in front of him. So if you’re talking about his position, that’s at worst 14th.
Second: the list has some questionable decisions. There are 3 very injured players on that list in front of him. There are players with similar uneven marks. Etc.
Third: it’s PFF. This is not even a player-based ranking. Essentially, it means nothing.

It's nice depth to have in a pinch, but I don't think it's the plan or will become the plan.
I do think they considered Thuney at LT last year. It may have been plan C behind Williams (plan A), and Brown (plan B). I'm not going to go searchinng for the article, but I know I read (or heard) that was a viable option. [Reply]
