Chiefs Orlando Brown Projected Contract 6 year $145 mil - Page 110

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.

He really needs to be in camp. He is a young T and needs all the reps he can get.

2 years guaranteed? No wonder he turned it down.

Its not clear that is the case. But if that is true, then I would say that is a big red flag that KC does not trust Brown to bring it year after year with a big guaranteed contract.

We got him for the value of a 2nd round pick and right now we're going to get 2 years out of him if he walks after this season. If he does walk, we'll get a 3rd round comp. So we effectively rented a Top 10 LT for 2 years by trading a 2 for a 3. I'm ok with that.

The franchise tag slows down the gears of a free market. Kudos to him for taking the risk and trying to do better.

Das Kapital! Workers of the world, unite!

I shouldn't have used the term generational wealth I am pretty pissed. What I meant to say really is 18m per is right in line with his abilities.

Sure "your worth" is whatever someone will pay you. I doubt anyone would pay him more this season, but especially not 25 million per.

And if he wants to bet on himself, and actually signs the tag and actually plays great this year then everybody wins.

I just hate seeing people turn down huge contracts and then bet on themselves and lose.

I feel like Lamar Jackson is about to do this. I haven't even brought up injuries.

And can franchise tag him again in 2023.

With the funny money reports, it kind of verifies that the Chuefs see him like many fans. Good but not the top dog.

The sides are not expected to reach an agreement on a long-term deal on today's deadline. Brown's tag offer is unsigned.

2022: $16.6M
2023: $16.6M + 20% of 2022 franchise tag, $19.92M
2024: $19.92M + 44% of 2023 franchise tag, $28.68M

So Basically a 3 year $65.2M fully guaranteed contract with a $21.73 yearly average.

No deal between Chiefs and Orlando Brown will get done today, but KC was aggressive.

Its final offer was a six-year, $139 million deal ($23.16M avg) that included a $30.25 million signing bonus and $95 million in first five years.

Both sides hope for new deal after this season.

Alright, that offer actually makes a lot of sense, both why we offered why we did and why he ultimately turned it down.

Ego and he overestimates his playing tier

Yeah our offer makes perfect sense for an organization trying to be smart, and i makes sense why it doesnt exactly work for him. I'm not mad. Maybe after another year at LT both sides will see things more clearly.
