If he's what people here are saying, why would a team trade that for him AND pay him what he supposedly wants?
[Reply]

He has worth to a team that’s run-heavy.

As for his contract demands, they’re going to have to change. He will find that out eventually
[Reply]

yeah, or a second.

In the land of hyperbole known as Chiefsplanet, all I'm doing is playing the what if game.

I don't even hate Brown, I think he's a decent. But IF his contract demands are record setting, what then?

And all anyone has said is- "Well, what are you going to do to replace him?!"

And I offered a possible replacement scenario.
[Reply]

There's no reason for him to at this point. He either gets that, the Chiefs tag him again, or they let him walk.

The tag this year is higher as well, I just don't see the Chiefs taking that chance.
[Reply]

The Chiefs aren't gonna take a flier on some LT. They wanted Williams, pivoted and swung on OBJ.

They'll either pay him or they'll go for another big fish.
[Reply]

I’m not even worried about replacing him. They will find a way if it comes to that
[Reply]

With Andy's propensity for continuity on the OL....I'm guessing he's here for a while whether we like it or not.
[Reply]

Yep, you’re probably right.
[Reply]

There don't appear to be any big fish in 2023. That could change, I suppose. Maybe some big fish wants out of their shitty pond and demands a trade.

But if OBJ wants record breaking money, I don't see KC paying it.

Nijman was Rodgers' LT all year, in an MVP season, and he's 26. They're already paying the current top of the market LT in Bahktiari, who's a week or two from returning.

That's a little more than 'taking a flier' on 'some LT'.

You guys wanted options in the case of it not working out with Brown, so I gave you a perfectly viable one.
[Reply]

I'm not worried either, just playing 'what if'.
[Reply]

But with the Chiefs current FO, it's just not viable. It's not a move they'd make.
[Reply]

Oh I wasn’t trying to imply anything. Just saying I don’t care how they replace him. If he wants to be the highest-paid OT in the league, he can leave.
[Reply]

You keep saying this, but recent history says otherwise in a pretty direct manner.

We literally refused to make an actual elite player top of the market in salary and sent him packing with Tyreek Hill.

And you think we're going to pay OBJ what would be a record breaking top of the market deal (and his agent apparently wants it all guaranteed)?

I don't think with the current Chiefs FO that will happen. They're trying to stay on top, not get on top.

OBJ is a decent LT at this point. Maybe he balls out all year, and deserves that deal. Maybe not.

If not, you have to pivot. I'm just interested in what might that pivot look like.
[Reply]

This is where the Chiefs should let him seek a trade where they could match. Let him find out from the rest of the league what he has as far as value.
[Reply]

Look at their history at the LT spot since this current group has been here.

First overall pick. Contract extension. Attempt to pay the best LT in the game the most LT money in the game. Trading a first for a LT then offering him a big contract.

They aren't gonna down grade at LT with Mahomes at QB.
