Nzoner's Game Room>Orlando Brown Projected Contract 6 year $145 mil
dlphg9 08:17 PM 03-28-2022
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.

Sounds like Veach read the writing on the wall and had to bite the bullet on Tyreek.

I voted 'no' because I think he's going to get a bit below this and I think he actually deserves even more below that.

He's definitely above average and young but I don't think he's shown that he's elite. Unfortunately we're in a position where we can't really start over at the position so he's going to get more than he probably should.

People are tripping in the comments about the total value Tbh. At just $65m guaranteed it’d essentially be a 3-4 year deal with what I’d expect to be a very small cap hit in year 1.

He’s a young ascending player at a crucial position. I’d be fine with it. Gotta protect the franchise’s blind side.

Is there a link to this story?

I say NO and really don't believe it unless it is some kind of contract that is pretty cheap in the first few years and easy to cut in the later years.

No LT is getting that kind of money currently and there is nothing like the WR Adams deal that completely explodes the market.

Yes, 26 year old stud LT's are very hard to find. We simply have to.

I don't believe those numbers, but contracts have been insane for a while now.

It could be worse. We could have wasted picks and only had him for a year.

Naysayers, what's your solution?

Let Brown go, after we traded a first round pick for him a year ago?

Trade a lot of our draft capital to move up in the draft for a LT?

Trade more picks for some other veteran LT?

Start a developmental prospect on Mahomes' blind side?

Or pay Orlando Brown the market rate for a 25 year old, top third LT?

The line was pretty good last year. PFF ranked them #5 in their final rankings for 2021. You want to upset all of that and package up a bunch of draft picks for a chance at someone who might eventually be a marginal improvement?

He’s a slight above LT who was fine after adjusting. I’d pay it bc those players are not easy to find.

Only so many humans made that big and athletic

this same argument is made every year. No “x position” in football is worth that price. Then someone pays it and then the rest follow.

You and over 1/2 the Planet say no, okay tell me how we get someone as good or better? How much money does it cost? How many draft picks?

You think only WR salaries are escalating? Just wait, it’s going to be every position.

If the deal is 6/145, what I think that REALLY equates to is a 4/85 or 5/100-ish deal that has a fluff, fake, never-gonna-be-paid-in-actuality huge number on year 6 that lets Orlando brag about his deal and say he's the top LT in the NFL... without him ever actually earning the AAV in a single year.
