And from my chair, he hasn't played to the level of the contract he already declined.
I don't think a 'fungible contract that won't hurt the team' is in the cards. OBJ simply won't be able to swallow his pride and accept one.

If I was Veach I’d offer him the same contract as last year. It appears that Brandt Tillis worked that contract to protect us.
If Brown Jr refuses, slap the transition tag on him. That’s a top 10 average pay instead of top 5 like the franchise tag.
Brown Jr can go into FA and see if any team is willing to pay him that ridiculous record breaking contract. When they don’t he’ll know his worth and (hopefully) understand that he’s not worth that.
If he doesn’t want to take Veach’s offer bc he wants record breaking money, then you refuse and look at your options.
