Chiefs Orlando Brown Projected Contract 6 year $145 mil - Page 297

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.

Can you imagine OBJ blocking for someone without Mahome's pocket presence?

My goodness.

i'd say his extension rests on postseason performance

he's had an average year all things considered....he'll earn slightly above average money with a good postseason....bad postseason, bye

His season grade overall: 73.3, Run blocking: 67.4, Pass blocking: 74.2

Where does he sit with the rest of the league?

Here's where he ranks among tackles who have played 80% of snaps this season (41 total):
15th overall, 20th RBLK, 20th PBLK

But it's his turn to a payday, Clay. That's how this works.

He turned down a damn high offer last year.

There is no way he comes down.

Veach has a contingency it just depends when he'll do it because if he didn't OBJ would be signed.

Brown is better than what CP says he is.

Im not so sure. If he had a contingency plan why would he offer OBJ that contract? I believe that offer was because there were no options.

Now we are in even deeper with OBJ, the pro bowl really screws us.

OBJ, did it at the last minute waiting till after the FA & Draft period to negotiate which includes picking a new agent

Brown absolutely sucks as a pass blocker. To give this turd a max deal is saying that we absolutely cannot do better to protect the blind side of the franchise.

It's just not true, and there's no way it happens.

There's absolutely no way he should have been a PB LAST year, let alone THIS year. What a joke.

Can you imagine the look on some of the LTs faces that are ranked ahead of him? :-)
[Reply]

Can you tag and trade him?
[Reply]

We should move on and let some team with an immobile QB find out how much he sucks at pass blocking.

Veach does have a contingency plan. It’s just not an ideal one due to lacking availability.

It’s Lucas Niang.
