Sources: Four-time Pro Bowl tackle and Super Bowl champ Orlando Brown Jr. is finalizing a four-year, $64.092 million front-loaded deal with the #Bengals that includes an over $31M signing bonus — largest ever for an o-lineman.
Eh. Whatever. The Chiefs were in need of a dependable tackle to replace Fisher and he was the best option available after we missed out on Trent Williams. The first round pick sucked, but the second that we got back and drafted Bolton with pretty much balances that out. And we got a Superbowl win with him. That was worth it. We won't get a comp pick because his replacement will wipe that out. That's the only sticking point for me, that the Chiefs will get zero compensation for him. [Reply]

There will be comp picks next year. Juju, Brown, Thornhill, Saunders, and possibly Hardman (depending on his deal). We aren't signing enough FAs to offset all those guys. [Reply]

We proved Patrick Mahomes could complete a playoff run and superbowl win on one good ankle thanks to Brown's immaculate impersonation of a fence post against speed rushers so thank you Brown. I wish for similar fence post impersonations when he protects Joe Burrow.
Chiefs wanted to keep Patrick Mahomes upright and let him play without the handicap moving forward and its great they did not give him that contract last year. Its great he went to Cinn so Joe Burrow can try to match the handicap playoff and superbowl run but it could have been another good team. Chiefs sticking to their plan. Its working.
For the Cinci fans on here: It's not sour grapes about Orlando Brown. Half the board thought he was league average *at best*. I almost guarantee half your board will be trashing him very early in the season in OBJ's bad games, and the other half blaming Burrow for holding the ball too long. [Reply]

I've been in a loving relationship for two years. During that time, I've seen my favorite football team start a dynasty. I also bought a real cute doggie and my first house. I recently got a coupon for Uber Eats that is going to let me get some food delivered for less than the cost of the actual food.
Life is fucking good, at the expense of you and your team. [Reply]

Jonah Willams was #1 and #2 in sacks given up the past 2 years. OBJ is better than any tackle the Bengals have put out there in that time and he's missed zero games due to injury.
Yeah, worked out well for the Bengals and the Chiefs. [Reply]

Take the number of pressures Brown allowed and run that against the sack percentage of Joe Burrow when he faces pressure.

I don't think you'll enjoy the results.
If that was a true predictor of future events, i might not like it. As it is, i'm feeling better now than i was 24 hrs ago. [Reply]

Well, they're paying him as 17th best, which is probably about right. Too bad he wouldn't take that here, but honestly, I'm glad for the opportunity to upgrade. [Reply]
Hes an OK tackle. I dont understand the hate on the guy except that I get it he went to a rival team, but seriously, who gives a fuck? Hes paid as the 17th best tackle, hes about the 17th best tackle, and hes an upgrade for them.
