I would say the worst is reporting by week 10. But most likely is to skip training camp. Really if he wants that 25 number from anyone he needs to report and have a great year and show he is a top 3 tackle.

Nobody actually knows what the hell is going on here. We all have seen the Chiefs have no problem paying players what they are worth and even more in some cases.

If OBJ doesn't sign, it's because he's being unreasonable, and it's really that simple. If he holds out, the Chiefs will find another option, win a lot of games, and the sun will continue to rise. He's not as important as he thinks he is in the short term, at this point his 2021 production is very replaceable. He wants to get paid on potential alone that he hasn't fully shown. I would be hesitant if I was Veach, too.

Surely OBJ isn't as dumb as he looks!

I think my unease comes from the "I'm working out on my own", give me a boatload of money trusting me that I'm in training camp shape and not nursing an injury.

Why not sign the tag, come to the offseason stuff, and allow your agent to continue to earn his money and get you a contract.
[Reply]

That's most likely. And it's also stupid on his part.

There was such a change in their mannerisms and attitude coming out of the 2nd half. Best explanation is there was some blow up in the locker room between someone that was in front of the team or that they could hear.

I'm sure that happens a lot, we just never hear about it. They are all type "A" personalities, Competing in a very physical game. The testasorne in the locker room on game days must be off the charts at times.
[Reply]

Yep.

It's not a real popular opinion, but if he does that, I'd sign Fisher and say it's an open competition for the left tackle starting spot. And if he bitched about it, I'd tag and trade him before next season.

Seems pretty stupid for Brown to not sign his tender and play under the tag, especially when he doesn't really have any leverage in the situation. Or I guess you could try and go the route of LEveon Bell, who said this week he regretted the decision he made and wishes he would've just played in 2018.
[Reply]

I don't really understand the Fisher stuff.

If you're gonna roll with someone else, just roll with one of the guys on the roster already.
[Reply]

A lot of assumptions in this thread that Fisher is healthy and can still play and those ideas are completely fabricated out of desperation
[Reply]

This is where the agent run around fucks you. Had you known earlier he was gonna do the whole tag sit out or contract demands thing, prior to the draft, you could have done something and gone a different direction.

Fuck, it's my go to thing, but at this point, don't ever trade for a guy needing a contract extension. It's just not worth the headache.

I'd sign Duane Brown to a 1 year deal while OBJ's contract or whatever gets figured out.

Would LOVE seeing:

"Chiefs finalizing deal with LT Brown on a new 1 year deal" MUAHAHAHA that would F with people
[Reply]

its just amazing to me that this guy actually thinks he is a top LT. He definitely is very good but I doubt he is even top 10.
[Reply]

14. He's "pretty good" but possibly improving.
[Reply]

Is that really relevant? How we got here is history. We are here. The soon to be ballooning cap is reality. Players, Agents, GM's etc, all know its coming.

Letting the guy walk and us spending draft capitol on another LT with no guarantee they will be any better than Brown sounds insane to me.
