LT situation
Would you trade a 1 and a 2nd to the Browns for Wills and sign him to an extension to fix the LT spot?

No.
Why would I trade that and then also have to pay the guy? 1) I could trade a 1 for Njiman on the RFA tag and pay him so I could save a draft pick 2) I could trade a 1 and 2 and get into the top 20 and draft my very own, shiny, new, LT that will spend 5 years on a rookie deal which allows me to fill in the rest of my roster with 25 million of cap space I wouldn't otherwise have. |

We all know that Brown is signing a new deal with us.

I thought it was most probable until we witnessed how pissed off Mahomes was when Brown gave up the pressure on that last drive of the Bengals game.
If it happens again, I'm not so sure Mahomes is going to sign off on it. Your QB has to trust that LT and right now I just can't fathom Mahomes is all-in. |

That being said, Orlando & Wiley are both in the bottom 15% of the league when it comes to protecting the QB on pass plays. At least Wiley is cheap. I would hope they can figure out a cheaper option than paying Orlando $20+ million per year for Bottom 15% performance at his position. |

I dunno, man.
I'm seeing a LOOOOOOT of chips out there. Sure looks to me like the coaching staff, at this point, is just trying to make chicken salad with the guy. I don't think they're going to be eager to sign up for 3-4 more years of this shit. Not when doing so will impact their ability to buttress the roster elsewhere.

Lord I hope we upgrade LT. Pat has had a career's worth of pressure playing behind mediocre talent.

Brown is mediocre. The thing is, we can make due with mediocre as long as we're not paying a premium. What we can't do is tie up a ton of money in mediocre. That's what's killed our D-line since 2020.
There are guys out there that can do a middle of the road job for less than Brown is demanding. **** that guy. |

We can get by with mediocre OR expensive. We can't get by with both. We can pay a premium for a premier LT. But OBJ has played his way off that list. He opened the door with several weeks of plus play, then fell on his damn face again. And frankly I just get the feeling this is going to be par for the course for him. He's just not a natural fit for this system. That doesn't mean he can't go 4-6 weeks playing extremely well in it, but the stars have to align and they ain't gonna do that for 17 weeks. He'll get dinged or mechanically out of sorts. Or the weather will be bad. Or the matchup. There are going to be games, probably 1/3 to 1/2 of them any given year, where he's passable at best. That's just the reality when you're asking a guy to run a system he's not well suited to run. And I just don't think you can lock yourself into that for big money. It's fine if he's cheap; you can make that work. It's not fine when he's even making the money he's making now, let alone asking for more.

They went big game hunting with Trent Williams, drafted Fisher first overall and traded a first round pick for OBJ (somewhat).
Guys, they aren't gonna go with a "middle of the road" guy at LT. It's gonna be a big swing one way or another. They aren't gonna sit and take the 3rd best LT on their board. It's either go way up and get one, pay OBJ or they're trading for someone else. |
