Chiefs Orlando Brown Projected Contract 6 year $145 mil - Page 20

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.

KC has not been cheap to deserving players but no team will make his 23rd ranked ass the highest paid LT. We would be stupid to do so. He isn't that good.

Sorry, help me out, what exactly is angiid? Is that a noun or an adjective?

First, the list you’re referencing has 9 right tackles on it in front of him. So if you’re talking about his position, that’s at worst 14th.

Second: the list has some questionable decisions. There are 3 very injured players on that list in front of him. There are players with similar uneven marks. Etc.

Third: it’s PFF. This is not even a player-based ranking. Essentially, it means nothing.

Stop being and idiot, genious.

Over 22 million the next 3 years isn't enough?

22.1, 22.6, and 22.6 is in the neighborhood.

He'd be the 8th highest paid LT by avg. if he was at LT. His contract is more of a tackle contract than a guard contracts.

But they're not moving him so it's a moot conversation.

When we signed him to that contract the whiners on here were saying that we gave him LT money.

If the Chiefs felt comfortable playing Thuney at LT, don't you think they would have... just rolled with him at LT last year?

It's nice depth to have in a pinch, but I don't think it's the plan or will become the plan.

I was just replying to Superturtles post. He is making LT money. So it wouldn't take a significant raise. Small raise? Maybe.

I do think they considered Thuney at LT last year. It may have been plan C behind Williams (plan A), and Brown (plan B). I'm not going to go searchinng for the article, but I know I read (or heard) that was a viable option.

They are not junk although they are not the greatest either.
Go ahead and post a link to a better more respected place with rankings for LT.

That’s not what he’s making.

He’s making about $15 million/yr over those 3 years.

That’s not really LT money.
