Veach DID see value in him, certainly last year, and I reckon he'd have taken that deal the Bengals gave him.
It is what it is. I think Veach probably had the right approach, Brown and his agent certainly did not. Bengals have profited which is the annoying part. But we can absolutely come out of this entirely fine, especially if we upgrade at RT now.

Still no matter what have to believe Braden Voop has a plan to really upgrade the LT and I think it's with the draft and want a long term solution that Brown just wasn't getting the pass protection job done and we are a heavy passing team.
