So I'm a chiefs fan and both our tackles were 1st and 2nd in pressures allowed, yeah he's not worth 20m a year and I'm happy they didn't tag him. Veach won't be held hostage and he wouldn't do this if they didn't think they had a backup plan in place. Veach is the best for a reason, chiefs fans trust him to do the right thing.
OBJ Jr and Mahomes are extremely tight. Both walked out first in line along the other for the Superbowl. He is a Chief.
Obj will stay in kc
he was rated as almost the worst through the majority of the season. veach knows what hes doing.
The Chiefs set back in fear? When did this happen?
You simply can’t pay “Good players, great contracts.” He’s good, not elite. Let’s someone else overpay for him and move on. In Veech we trust.
Early in the season, PFF had him graded as the 28th out of 39 left tackles. He improved a little bit as the season went on but that doesn't warrant being the highest paid left tackle.
Elite run blocker, but a very mediocre and terribly inconsistent passblocker. His whiff on Arden Key led to Mahomes suffering the high ankle sprain injury
He is a decent LT at best. I am a Chiefs fan and have seen him get beat on many occasions over the last two years. He asked for number 1 left tackle money last year and they franchised him. Since the national sports media is so high on him, they should sign him. I believe they can find a LT in the draft.
The kid just isn’t worth keeping. He is mediocre at best but wants to be paid like he is the best around…
I personally don’t want some kid who would take money from the other positions where we need to see improvement when he is literally worse than the practice squad guys…
Just because your daddy was great doesn’t mean you are
OrLando Brown Jr > 'shouLd be PLaying RIGHT-TackLe, pLus He's pretty bad at giving up QB Pressures . . . I agree with Mike in that Mahomes' Deft SkiLL at aLLuding Pressure artificially infLates the O-Lines' Stats
Florio saying the Chiefs were panicking last offseason … ughhh … no, it was the media who believed the Chiefs were in trouble. Nothing about how Veach drafted and acquired players showed any sense of panic. Seriously.
If he doesn't return they have Joe Thuney who can play LT better than Brown anyway
Brown gives up a LOT of pressures in pass protection. Not worth his contract demands. Better to let him walk than overpay. I trust Reid to find a replacement with a better return on investment.
Poor take, you guys don’t watch much Chiefs ball. He’s serviceable but not good, let alone best in the league. Only way he’s back on the Chiefs this year is at a deep discount.
Not a ban rental tbh. 1st(31) and 3rd and 4th picks for Brown, a 2nd(58) and a 6th for what they got out of him seems pretty solid.
Brown does his block and then watches the DE run around him. He's lazy.
If Reid has an eye for his O-line, explain the loss to the Bucs in the SB?
Orlando is ok. He's not great nor consistent BUT he's a FA at a highly needed position. He has a 75 overall grade by PFF. Some LT needy team will pay him top 10 LT money. It's just business.
Orlando is an awesome run blocker and raised his stock with Ravens run heavy play calling.
Chiefs more focused on passing and Brown was in the Top 5 in QB pressures allowed. Mahomes saved him from going all the way to #1 with his ability to scramble.
Not worth his 20+ million contract asking price and KC fans are well aware of this. Heck, Wylie, who is not that good, punked Hassan Reddick in the SB making less than half of Orlando's asking price.
This won't tear down the Chiefs they said that last year
I saw very little that showed OB wasn't great
You know it's the hardest OL position to work , 15 goes back and then up with his left side blind and so is Orlando to where 15 is going
Yeah we want another Eric Fisher , he just got beat nearly every series
God love you, God love me ✌️
He turned down a six-year $139 million contract. I don’t know what he was thinking.
Trading Hill worked out really well for the KC chiefs. Not only they won the SuperBowl, but they now have a 1st and 2nd round drafts. Wow
Dude helped KC win a SB, will be forever grateful to him. But he isn't worth the $ he's asking for. They'll be fine.
Orlando Brown is a top 15 tackle that is looking for top of the market $$$. I think Brown gets the bag from a bottom tier team that is willing to overpay him.
Chris, this is not a good take and maybe you don't watch enough Chief's games. He's average and the reason Mahomes has gotten hurt.
