Last week I was down on OBJ but this week the kid is reminding me a bit of Jonathan Ogdon meets Anthony Muñoz with Orlando Pace's gut.

Yep.

OK so let all stop questioning his commitment. He is betting on himself, and if he wins its good for both sides. Just going to cost us more money.

Agreed. That's why I figured all along that he would not hold out. He needs to do whatever he needs to do to be the best player he can. That means play, because he's betting on himself.

Well this is a pleasant surprise.

Hell this is great news.

Now, hopefully Kinnard can turn into TreySmithII at RT. Would be lightning striking twice scenario.

I mean showing up today is huge but confirmation that he'll sign and play on the tag well that's the first time we've heard in a definitive way that he's doing that.

I think half of all the angry posts in here were because everyone was worried that this would carry into the season.

Him signing and practicing means that this kind of worked out for the best. Want to bet on yourself? Cool, love it. As long as you show up and actually do that. And it seems like he will.

Now I'm rooting for his level of play to keep ascending and next season for him to get a contract with the Chiefs instead of anyone else.

Any confirmation other than RGKnee's tweet

Orlando Brown will have to pass his physical and conditioning test before practicing. I’m told not to expect him practicing this morning.

Yeah that's why I thought he would skip out on the whole st Joe part.

And they were still in meetings and doing some installs of the offense so it's not like he missed nothing. So yeah, it makes no sense to have missed out on the portion he missed out on. He should have just came on time.

Hard to imagine why a 6’8” 300+ lb OL wouldn’t want to be at camp the first week with no pads in an offense he has known for over a year.

I just don’t get why he’d want to be out there in shorts in 100+ degree heat and getting to fit his fat long ass body on a dorm twin size mattress.

I just don’t get it guys
