Sounds like Veach read the writing on the wall and had to bite the bullet on Tyreek.

I voted 'no' because I think he's going to get a bit below this and I think he actually deserves even more below that.
He's definitely above average and young but I don't think he's shown that he's elite. Unfortunately we're in a position where we can't really start over at the position so he's going to get more than he probably should. |

He’s a young ascending player at a crucial position. I’d be fine with it. Gotta protect the franchise’s blind side.

Is there a link to this story?
I say NO and really don't believe it unless it is some kind of contract that is pretty cheap in the first few years and easy to cut in the later years. No LT is getting that kind of money currently and there is nothing like the WR Adams deal that completely explodes the market. |

Yes, 26 year old stud LT's are very hard to find. We simply have to.

I don't believe those numbers, but contracts have been insane for a while now.
It could be worse. We could have wasted picks and only had him for a year. |

Naysayers, what's your solution?
Let Brown go, after we traded a first round pick for him a year ago? Trade a lot of our draft capital to move up in the draft for a LT? Trade more picks for some other veteran LT? Start a developmental prospect on Mahomes' blind side? Or pay Orlando Brown the market rate for a 25 year old, top third LT? The line was pretty good last year. PFF ranked them #5 in their final rankings for 2021. You want to upset all of that and package up a bunch of draft picks for a chance at someone who might eventually be a marginal improvement? |

He’s a slight above LT who was fine after adjusting. I’d pay it bc those players are not easy to find.
Only so many humans made that big and athletic

You and over 1/2 the Planet say no, okay tell me how we get someone as good or better? How much money does it cost? How many draft picks? You think only WR salaries are escalating? Just wait, it’s going to be every position.

If you have played around with contract structures at ALL, 6 years makes a lot of sense. If the deal is 6/145, what I think that REALLY equates to is a 4/85 or 5/100-ish deal that has a fluff, fake, never-gonna-be-paid-in-actuality huge number on year 6 that lets Orlando brag about his deal and say he's the top LT in the NFL... without him ever actually earning the AAV in a single year.
