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]

Its not them.
I bet its Browns camp that's doing all the talking. Veach & Co are too classy for that. [Reply]

This is in reference to Brown coming to KC as a team player that was willing to work out a team-friendly deal.
Chadiha also said that KC is “frustrated” and “disappointed” that Brown rejected its offer.
Chiefs got duped if they thought the guy who forced his way out of Baltimore because he "wanted to play LT" (right before his rookie deal expired) would give them a team-friendly deal. [Reply]
This is agent posturing...he sized up the situation and knows they dont have a replacement LT.
The Chiefs shouldn't budge...they offered him what he's worth. If Brown doesn't want to make a million dollars + every Sunday...let him get fat and play video games.
For everyone asking, "why would the Chiefs do this," you already have you answer. They wouldn't. This story is either made up by the reporter or leaked by an agent. [Reply]

Chadiha is a shit disturber.
He found some locker room attendant who got stiffed on a year end tip and milked him for a quote from a ‘team source’.
This is how he get attention and once again it worked.
Until he stops with this nonsense bomb throwing, ignore the clown. [Reply]

He'll show up...
They offered way more than his sorry ass is worth. [Reply]

He's already on the edge of being too heavy. He's clearly a guy whose sole motivation is money. What's he gonna look like when he loses that motivation?
Unless he comes out and has a Trent Williams type season, then it just isn't worth it imo. One thing we cannot do is give huge contracts to average players. Quickest way to slam our window shut. And I don't think Veach is that stupid.
Why would him having a career year in a contract year make you change your mind on whether he would let himself go after getting paid.

I agree. It bought the Chiefs 2 seasons to solve the LT problem. They were in a mess without Fisher after Williams chose to stay in San Francisco. Veach has seen that his demands are unreasonable and will be planning how best to solve the LT problem for the future during the months between now and when free agency begins again. [Reply]
Chiefs probably are frustrated with the whole drawn out contract bs
Why wouldnt they be?
They cut the cord on Tyreek and Tyrann, so I do believe OBJ is toast at some point
It doesnt take much to read the tea leaves here [Reply]
