Being in the market for a LT, is hugely stressful.
But I think it's legitimate to worry about locking up big bucks in a guaranteed contract. Brown has already shown he isn't going to sign a contract that has team friendly outs.
After he gets paid, will he be a work out warrior in order to keep his weight down and quickness up to take on speed rushers? And will he still play at a high enough level if he doesn't have a pro bowl caliber guard next to him? Or can he be quick enough through routine/nagging injuries?
It's not that it is never worth backing up the Brink's truck, but it isn't risk free. So even if things are more likely than not to work out okay... It's worth at least playing devil's advocate because the down side on these huge contracts are a bit grim...
But of course as has been pointed out over and over, the alternatives aren't great...
