I can't say that anything good happened out of that. Since Brown Jr declined we had to get Taylor who isn't really any better. And he's not even a LT although it would not surprise me if he plays there next year.

Cincinnati paid Brown Jr 4 years, 64 million. And we paid a right tackle 4 years, 80 million.
