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]

If Orlando wants to break the bank, after a good 1st year into his contract he'll just be good enough to get by as a pass blocker which is very average.
If he takes a team friendly deal, then I'll feel better about the signing and his ambition.
BTW, the butthurt among posters is telling. They resort to name calling and dinegration because there's alot of truth that OBJ is just monetary centric. [Reply]

What's your team friendly deal? Let's get some numbers in this bitch.
You hate the proposed contract in the OP. We get it. Tell me the most you're willing to pay for OBJ. [Reply]

You think Orlando Brown, a 3 time pro bowl tackle (made PB from both sides of line in multiple systems) is going to sign a 4-5 year deal for essentially pennies? He wants -and probably deserves- to be the highest paid OT in the game for a short amount of time till the next guy is. That’s just how this works.

You used to pay attention a lot better.
He's an elite run blocker I won't argue that but his passblocking another story.
I'm not going to give OBJ a blank check even if he thinks he's a Franchise Tackle [Reply]
