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]

I'm not paying JJSS 20 mil a year. No thanks.

The guy didn't keep taking one-year deals to reposition himself in the market so he could take a discount at 26 years old. He's going to require as much from us as he would anyone else.
And we shouldn't be the ones to pay it.
We'll see what he signs for but I don't think he'll be breaking the bank anywhere. He had an good year followed by a sub optimal playoffs (so far) he's not gonna be getting DK Metcalf money. He also has to find a better situation then this with a team that'll give him a long term deal.
IMO he won't find that and his less than optimal playoffs has hurt his value. I could see him saying "I just won a superbowl and I play with Mahomes. I'll stay"
I don't buy into the whole "players will take discounts" cause Mahomes thing that get said a lot around here but in this case it's kinda of the perfect storm.
He won't get 20M, I think he tops out at a Christian Kirk like deal. [Reply]

So down the stretch he's been good for 2 catches and 25 yards/gm. And sure, maybe he's been dinged up in that span, but that's ALSO been a hallmark of his career.
He just doesn't bring much to the table. We've got folks wanting to cut MVS to save $7 million on the cap while simultaneously arguing in favor of bringing back JJSS at probably 250% of that figure.
Just...why? I don't get it at all.
I mean you can make the argument that Skyy Moore should be able to do what JJSS does. [Reply]

And this is why we should focus on tools when building a roster.
MVS has had the tools to have this kind of game. It just hadn't quite clicked yet.
JJSS on the other hand, has the tools to be little more than an inefficient target sponge; a poor man's landry.
Had we lost MVS instead of JJSS last night, we lose that game, IMO. [Reply]

MVS didn't get alot of catches during the season but the ones he did get were big time and he definitely came up big last night. I was really hoping Skyy would progress significantly but he really hasn't but he is still young so I would give him the opportunities next season and not bring back JJSS. [Reply]

Huh?
If it's not the money he's looking for he won't sign. OBJ wants Trent Williams or Bhaktari money. He's not gonna take a pay cut and he's not moving to RT. In fact if we win the super bowl, he's probably gonna want to reset the market.
Does anyone still want him under that condition....? [Reply]

Brown might not be a top 5 tackle but he’s good enough for us to have a mn objectively great offense and the team has bigger fish to fry, like adding pass rushers and pass catchers in the draft.
Well, 2 years ago most of us were convinced they wouldn't replace the entire offensive line and then they basically did exactly that.

So would I.
I don't think that Kirk price tag is what it will cost us. That what another team could offer. I'm not breaking the bank for the guy, if he wants to cash out, then Godspeed. I think he'll take a discount, we'll see if I'm right. [Reply]
