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]

Lolz, no, but that would've been amazing. Especially if he'd used the word "kuan," in there somewhere.
No, I just meant he sounds very well-spoken, professional and intelligent. he does a good interview, that's all. [Reply]
:-) If that quote is legit, just fucking why? You're Orlando Brown Jr. You're sitting there obstinate that you deserve a market resetting contract to play LT when the league views you as a RT. And THATS the quote you put out nationwide. Fucking cripes, dude :-). Not "I enjoyed the challenge of going 1 on 1". No, it was "harder" [Reply]

I took it as he was just comparing his experience in BAL vs. KC; one team ran the piss out of the ball so he was always run-blocking, vs. a pass happy team so he was always going backwards. The transition would be difficult. [Reply]
Don't care. You're on National TV while your agent is pleading your case to teams about how you deserve to reset the market at LT when most of them don't even believe that's your best position. You don't need to go on and tell them all their concerns are valid when you bring up blocking on an island is harder for you. That's just self inflicted idiocy. [Reply]

But blocking on an island is harder than IOL. That's a huge part of why OTs get paid what they get paid vs. IOLs. [Reply]

That would actually make me want Veach to pay the man! [Reply]
