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]

Of course you'll get but but finding OTs ever average ones are HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD! Brown doesn't have the feet almost fell on his ass many times against Bosa/Mack the kid doesn't have the footwork or athletic ability.
Some will stick their head in ground never admit that they're wrong. Orlando isn't worth an elite level contract

Andy Heck Needs to look at himself in the mirror. No more excuses. We spent big money on free agent Thuney, big compensation for OBJ , drafts picks, you name it that offseason. Even the guys in the middle of the oline were confused this game. [Reply]

I watched it live and watched it again this morning watching just Brown. I took a note of pressures.
Mack did not have clear shots anywhere close to 20 percent of the time when matched up against Brown. Did YOU watch the game?
His only sack (and two of his pressures) came when Mack was on the right side of the line and Smith and Wylie did not communicate on the blitz and Smith blocked down on the double team with Humphrey, leaving Wylie with 2 guys in his lap. [Reply]

Yes, I did where multiple chips, and navigation between Creed and Trey for the midfielder TD strike because he was running away from OBJ's inability to stop Mack [Reply]

Keep making excuses for an average player who wants to be paid like an HOFer and reset the market [Reply]

If OBjr worships the baby Jesus Duncan will deny him 3 times or more. [Reply]
I'd argue Brown, himself, looked a lot better in this matchup than he did against Arizona. I haven't watched a replay to assess how much of that was due to schematically moving away from his side though. And everyone here knows how much I hate OBJ for this offense.
The line as a whole though, it was shit. 60% of Mahomes' dropbacks were under pressure. Completely unacceptable. [Reply]

Who cares about any of that? We're strictly talking about his performance last night. None of the contract-related stuff has any bearing on that.
I feel like Duncan is about as level-headed and objective as it gets. And I think his opnion after watching the tape isn't remotely something to be dismissed unless you or scrvy have done the same legwork. [Reply]
