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]

Since we have all watched these turds for far to long now how could anymore think their backups would not be worse and that they opposing team would not try and take advantage of that situation.
They're 2 of the 5 worst OT's in the entire league...I also don't think Wylie is one of the 2 best OT's on the roster. Some of this is loyalty, some of it is about not changing a line mid season..
But every number says if you changed them out the backups probably at worst would be about the same. [Reply]

I would say that Niang would be an improvement over Wylie as he was the starter that is making his way back from injury. Beyond Niang, we are talking bout Wanogho, Christian, and Kinnard. I do not believe any combination of those three would be equal to what we currently have even as bad as they have been. I would say that they would be proportionally worse because of their talent level and continuity.
One of the best things for Brown will be getting Thuney back in there. Brown has been bad but a part of the problem has been Allegretti not being in the position to help with the inside move by a DE.
I am hoping that Thuney being back will help Brown and that Niang gets back in there at RT. I think the OL would be vastly improved under those circumstances. Not that it would take much to be vastly improved. [Reply]
no one can convince me geron christian isn't a better pass blocker than orlando brownstain jr
I KNOW he has better feet.
First thing that’s popping out for Christian (#72) is the foot quickness allowing him to maintain good positioning into his set #Chiefspic.twitter.com/N0vzhagOZt

He's flashed enough to show he's an elite RT too. Just not in this offense. He needs to go somewhere that pounds the ball. [Reply]
Saw a stat that Mahomes is 10th in the league in how long he holds the ball in the pocket. Gonna have to speed that up unless you have 3 TE’s on the field, which makes Hardman and Toney coming back even more critical [Reply]

Exactly. If he plays RT in this offense, the same problems he has now will just follow him to the other side. [Reply]
Watching all of the pass reps from Sunday...I mean...some of those reps were so unbelievably bad that I can't imagine ANYONE being worse. I mean, just atrocious. A lot of those snaps, he had barely moved and Hendrickson was already around the corner.
Just horrible.
I don't know how much more leash Andy can give either of these guys. I mean, if Christian and Niang and/or Winnebago can't do better than that then Veach has failed miserably. And I don't think Veach is a dumb guy.

Brown's awful and Wylie blows goats.
Everyone here seems to see it, not sure if Andy does or seems willing to admit he needs to move on or at least try something else. [Reply]
Hopefully andy will scheme up better if we see these guys in the playoffs. When we played san fran, Andy had plays that let bosa blow by the tackle and we attacked the space he left behind. Kept waiting for mahomes to step up past their rusher blowing past obj.... [Reply]

Need more quick hitter plays. Would be really good if the combo of Toney, Hardman, and Thuney can get healthy for Playoffs. [Reply]
