I voted no but it will probably happen. That's what teams pay for an LT. Even an average one.

People have complained about Vrett Beach draft picks but each year he is drafting at the end of each round. Last couple drafts he seems to be doing much better but he is still having to take chances on guys other GMs would't. I think as each year he is our GM the better at working the draft and getting the best value out of each player. Acquiring Brown was mostly because he knew there wouldn't be a LT prospect available late in the draft that would have been better and now we are stuck like you said paying the bill. It's ok I like Brown as a mauler especially running the ball that we rarely do but if he improves his pass blocking then he will be worth the money. He can go from above average to pretty good if he can improve his pass blocking.

No. Paying Hill that price would have choked us. Wrs are not worth that money. LT is more important and continuity is important. The longer Brown is here the better he will get. He has the talent.

Well that would do wonders for team chemistry and WR's that thought they weren't getting targeted enough.

Also if they signed a big contract and then sucked balls the next year then they have to be paid another year of their previous contract |

This is actually a very capitalist mindset. Your desire is for the earnings of the employees to be capped while the earnings of the owners is unchecked. What’s more capitalist than that?

Without the owners you have no teams , plenty of players out there that will play for a million a year.

How long did it take Fisher to quit sucking? And he was in the same offense every year of his career (different position his rookie year, but still)
People longing for brokedick Fisher also probably weren’t patient with him for those couple of years. Give Brown another season on the tag. It will be fine. We’ll be fine. Don’t burn your two 1sts on another fatty for the love of god |

No one wants to pay to watch trash. That's why none of the other leagues do well. The best player in the XFL or whatever it's called isn't even capable of playing in the NFL.

The main reason why it makes sense to overpay Brown before fairly paying Tyreek Hill is Hill probably has around 3 times the trade value of Brown. If Chiefs sign Brown to a market rate contract, they could probably trade him for a late 2nd round pick or something like that. Chiefs paid more than that but only because they got Brown still on his rookie deal.
IMO Chiefs management made the right decision but if both players had roughly the same trade value and salary over the next 3 year, you get rid of Brown before Hill without even hesitating. |
