Chiefs Orlando Brown Projected Contract 6 year $145 mil - Page 328

dlphg9 · 03-28-2022, 08:17 PM

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.

Juju won’t cost anything close to what Hill would have.

I think KC could keep him on a solid deal for the Chiefs. He doesn’t strike me as a guy looking at a huge payday.

Then you have the next tier of guys with expiring deals/deals that won’t stay as is
Clark
Dunlap
Wiley
Williams
McKinnon
Watson
Harris

Lots of work to do.

Sneed and OBJ.
Done

All the others are fillers and role type guys anyway.

Because he's not Willie Roaf. Chiefs fans want Marty's defense, Vermeil's line and running game, and think they can still have Mahomes and everything he does.

Some of us are just permanently stuck in the 90's and early 2000's. I don't get it either but it exists.

Sign him. He's our LT for the foreseeable future, and damned glad to have him.

And we didn't pay Hill because of the other guys we are going to have to pay now. We went with the short term option in Juju because of what we are looking at right now in terms of who to pay.

Nothing wrong with being torn; the idiocy was in the "hate" by the fans, especially those who wanted him benched.

Thanks, and all the best in the future.

And all the catches he made in the 2nd half were schemed open.

Glad he enjoyed the ride but he really didn't show me anything this season.

Lots of work to do.

That's not gonna happen. Why don't we trade for Aaron Donald while we're at at it?

OBJ earned a big check yesterday. But it shouldn't be signed here.

Anton Harrison has been mentioned numerous times. Over and over. As has has Paris Johnson

he played well towards end of year but you absolutely do not sign the guy. let someone else give him the bag. hes not worth near as much as he wants, not even 65% of what he wants

He's not worth 65% of what he wants? I find that difficult to believe.

The problem is, he wants A TON.

He was much better the second half of the season, but he's still a mid-tier LT, and he wants to re-set the market and all of it guaranteed.

If we wouldn't do that for Hill, I doubt we will for Brown, who is a good but not elite player.

But someone might well do that, especially a team that fits his specific skillset, which is a run first offense.

I won't be shocked if we do it, but I think it's a 60% chance Veach tags and trades. If we could get a 2nd back for him, that's incredible value for a two year cost controlled rental.

BryanBusby · 02-13-2023, 06:28 PM

You just can't equal the Hill and Brown situations.

The Chiefs were confident they can scheme around not having Tyreek around anymore. Just can't scheme around bad blocking.

We're talking 65% of whatever it is he wants. If his demands were CRAZY (like $30 million per season), 65% of that is less than $20 million per year. Are you suggesting we shouldn't pay him <$20 million per?
