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]

Why are Chief Fans so ****ing stupid?
No, he's not trash, but he's a poor fit for this particular offense, and he's probably a straight up middle-rate LT demanding to re-set the market.
I'd tag and trade to a run heavy team for whatever I could get. Probably a 2nd, which would mean we got two cost controlled years for equal compensation. I'd call that a win. [Reply]

If you think he's been playing well this year then I don't know what to tell you. He either gets ran over being bull rushed or whiffs on the speed.
He's not who he was last year and I don't know why.
Maybe the weight he lost has something to do with it? :-)
He could definitely handle the bull rushers better last year. He still was not good at blocking speed rushers last season. [Reply]
What examples of really good left tackles with terrible feet are there?
Obviously Veach addressed his concerns about Orlando’s feet and weight after last season and how those elements prohibited him being able to mirror speed rushers effectively and Orlando has put in lots of work ti improve in those areas. That’s evidenced by his weight loss as well as his picking up tennis. I bet the tennis thing was Veachs idea to try to improve foot quickness specifically.
The problem is, I’m not sure you can improve his foot speed and agility enough to be able to block guys with an array of pass rush moves.
Who was really good with feet as bad as Orlando’s? What other traits did they have that allowed them to play at that level while lacking a fundamental trait that keeps OL centered by moving their feet quickly? [Reply]
The best thing Orlando Brown Jr did for the Chiefs this year is not sign his contract. Now we can move on from him but him not signing it must have cost him millions going into next years bargaining with other teams. At least he made it so we have options. [Reply]

Well if you ask Saccopoo (RIP) he'd tell you Brandon Albert [Reply]

I am not an Orlando Brown pimp, nor am I a PFF nut hugger. I'm not especially high on either.
But when PFF says he had the best game of any tackle this week, and CP generally says he has the worst game of any tackle every week, the discordance notable.

CP groupthink
Well there was a notable discordance between Veachthink and Brownthink this past off season regarding his contract.
Mythink is that will continue and Brown won't be in KC next season... [Reply]
