Orlando Brown Projected Contract 6 year $145 mil

[dlphg9]

So there's an article on NFL network saying that Orlando Brown is expected to sign for 6 years $145 mil.

That comes to $24.16 mil/yr and makes him the highest paid offensive lineman in football. It also would give him the 19th highest salary per year in the NFL

How would you feel if that is the contract he ended up signing?

I'm fine with it. He is a top 5 LT and he's only 26 next season. A young great LT is a guy you can't let leave.

Proof how little I like Orlando at LT, because I don't.

I just don't trust throwing money at him and expect him to not get fatter.

Mahomes admitted part of that was on him, especially early.

He averaged 84 yards a game in the playoffs in his career, idiot.

What's wrong with paying players fair market value vs having to pay a player top dollar everytime their contact is about to expire? $20-21 million is fair value for some one of OBJ's caliber.

The bigger issue is that OBJ isn't as good as anyone on that list.

Mahomes made Brown look way worse than what he was in the beginning of the year.

Horrible. We were complaining about him mid season now he’s a top 5 nfl tackle?

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.

I'm not against OBJ and I understand that the NFL player market is going up.

Someone has already posted the top NFL LT cap figures.

I am against creating our own LT market explosion by doing a huge deal that is way above market.

We may see a headline grabbing numbers for the Orlando Brown contract, but the actual dollars paid by KC will be far less.

I just hope they can get something done sooner than later. More cap is always good and the FA pickings get slimmer every day.

Yikes.

Don’t like the look of that contract projection, especially after seeing Armstead’s deal with Miami (yes, I realize he’s 31 and injury prone).

But then again, if it’s REALLY something like 4/$85 mil. with a bunch of ‘fluff money’ thrown in on the back end of the contract, not gonna lose too much sleep over it. I’m sure it will also have a low first year cap hit.

Curious to see where it will end up when it gets done, but honestly more interested in the structure of the deal.

We’ll see . . . . . . .

Very true, but you'd think he'd be happy with just making more than Ronnie Stanley, no need to play him top dollar.

Depends on the structure.

If the 6th year is $35 million or more, it's right at the 5/$100-$110 many of us expected.

And in all probability that's EXACTLY what it will be.

So I voted no but only because I wasn't thinking when I clicked on it. That's so much term you know there's a massive chunk of fake money in there and for a player that young, that kind of additional flexibility is only likely to be helpful long-term.

Veach signs Juju. Everyone bitched until they saw the contract details.
Veach signs MVS. Everyone bitched until they saw the contract details.

Everyone want to guess what the next part is?

What were the contract details on MVS?

Everything I heard before I decided I didn't really give a shit was something like 2/$18 million as the probable contract. Which still struck me as a little stout.

N/M - found it.

I think the most appealing part of the MVS contract is actually that it has a 1-year ripcord on it.

If he doesn't take to the offense and make strides as a multi-purpose weapon, the structure is such that you can cut him after a single season, absorb some dead cap and move along. But your cap hit for this year is so low that, as is often the case, it 'forward pays' the dead cap charge next year.

It really is a 1 year deal for about $8.75 million w/ a team option next season for about $8.75 million. That could be a hell of a lot worse.

In terms of the number, it's still a little higher than I'd like, but that's just what the market for WRs has been this year - shit happens.

Gonna need more flyers like Powell to hit in the coming years.
