Orlando Brown’s contract extension will be based on potential not present by Matt Conner8 hours ago Follow @MattConnerAA It’s important to remember that any contract extension given to Orlando Brown Jr. by the Kansas City Chiefs is based on potential. There is a throughline of doubt cast upon any and all conversations (it seems) happening between fans in Chiefs Kingdom about the looming contract extension likely to be given to left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. While most fans were into the idea of locking up Brown to a long-term deal, the news that he wants to be the NFL’s highest-paid left tackle has left some fans frustrated and even disinterested in such a deal. In a day and age where young players set a new market high with every big-time extension, it does sound troubling for one player to want to occupy so much of a team’s salary cap. The Chiefs were forced to send Tyreek Hill packing this spring to the Miami Dolphins when it was clear his $30M annual hopes were going to hamstring the organization at other positions. The idea that Brown wants to be paid like the best would likely go down a bit smoother if Brown had elevated his game considerably with the Chiefs while protecting Patrick Mahomes in his first season with the Chiefs. That said, Brown had noticeable hiccups along the way as he learned how to operate with a new quarterback, new teammates up front, a new coaching staff, and a new playbook. Brown’s agent has all of the leverage he needs to demand the deal. Brown is young, has been to three straight Pro Bowls, is by far the best option available on the market, and the Chiefs are already heavily invested in keeping him around. All of this can make fans feel a bit frustrated knowing Brown is going to make so much. But here’s the important note for the Chiefs’ front office (and for fans to know): The Chiefs aren’t rewarding Brown for a job well done until now. They’re paying him for the way they believe he will play for the next few seasons. Brown’s potential new mega-contract is all about potential instead of present production. That’s not to say he hasn’t given the Chiefs solid production to date, but any contract is all about later since the past is the past. Any team paying for someone’s legacy is a team ready to make major changes in leadership, and that’s definitely not the Chiefs. Back to Brown’s youth for an instant. The fifth-year lineman just turned 26-years-old this month and has never missed a single game in his NFL career. Locking him up for, let’s say, the next five seasons takes him through age 30. That seems a solid bet for a durable player to continue getting better and more comfortable (meaning instincts can truly take over) at a new position for a new team with new faces all around. Looking at Brown’s body of work and declaring he’s not worth such a lucrative deal is thinking backward about what the contract is rewarding. Brown is young and already quite excellent and there are far more reasons to believe he can continue to get better in years to come than not. That’s what the Chiefs are paying for and that’s what makes it the right move. https://arrowheadaddict.com/2022/05/31/orlando-brown-contract-extension-chiefs-potential-not-present/?a_aid=11111&fbclid=IwAR1TZINoEk02MWajP9vct7-HGbqGpoSTQ45ypIWVnXzqGnGj24KUuKwC-Wg

thank you lol

@Fmbl2187? you got any input on this?

interesting but asking and getting are 2 different things but if he acts like as an entitled brat then your prediction very well make come true. I see no evidence he deserves such $$.

But there may be one draft pick who could shine and make a lot of noise as a rookie. Running back Isiah Pacheco is a gifted running back who the Chiefs took in the seventh round out of Rutgers. Pacheco ran the fastest 40-time of any running back at the NFL Combine at 4.37 seconds alongside Patriots running back Pierre Strong Jr., who was drafted out of South Dakota State. Pacheco has great breakaway speed and possesses the ability to burst on the outside for big runs. Isiah Pacheco may have been a seventh-round draft pick and nearly went undrafted. But he will prove to be better if given the chance. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein scouted Pacheco and said he has “rapid-fire feet” and described him as a running back who “plays the game like a race car with no brakes.” However, Pacheco’s numbers in college weren’t great as a senior. He averaged 3.9 yards per carry and caught just 13 passes for 25 yards. Those probably played a big factor as to why he was drafted in the seventh round and nearly went undrafted as he was taken with the 251st pick, the 12th-to-last pick in the draft............

If it took 10 looks that call would be "tighter than a gnat's ass stretched over a water barrel".

my first thought

I think that is years of Pat just being Pat not all on Brown. I'm no Brown fanboy but I certainly dont think an upgrade will be an easy or cheap one. Somehow I think Brown needs to continue to improve and Pat needs to settle down..maybe a better run game will help both. I'm also in the camp that 20 M a year now will look like a bargain in 2-3 years even for an average LT

The Dolphins officially signed veteran linebacker Melvin Ingram this week to a one-year contract that could be worth up to $5 million, according to ESPN’s Field Yates. Ingram’s deal will count for a $3.92 million cap hit. He’ll $1.65 million in the form of a signing bonus, $1.67 million in base salary, $680,000 in per-game roster bonuses, $750,000 in playtime/sack/team defense incentives and $250,000 if he makes the Pro Bowl.

yup single handedly, it's all on Clark

it's one thing to have an opinion but you beat it like a dead horse that is where the frustration comes in. Everybody knows you think Brown is sub par but since Veach & Co dont agree your just pissing in a fan. Write them a letter and please once they quit laughing maybe you'll get a response and you can post it up.

he'd make a good raider

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are joined by the Las Vegas Raiders and Cleveland Browns for free agent Ndamukong Suh. CALEB SKINNER MAY 17, 2022 A league source has apparently told TheOBR.com that the Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are interested in 5-time pro bowler and current free agent DT Ndamukong Suh.

probably carrying an Uzi

I gather from this it's next 2023? he only good news here is that the Chiefs had the foresight to use the UFA tender on Ingram. The team using this tender means that Ingram’s contract with Miami will still count toward the compensatory pick formula for Kansas City even though the deadline to qualify has since passed.

Dolphins Rumors: Former Steelers, Chiefs LB Melvin Ingram Agrees to Contract The Miami Dolphins are continuing a strong offseason by reportedly adding a veteran pass-rusher. According to insider Jordan Schultz, three-time Pro Bowl defensive end/linebacker Melvin Ingram will be signing with the Dolphins. The terms of Ingram's deal were not disclosed. I so this really bites ass.

I'm surprised that there are only 2 games that I wont be able to see. AMAZON and ESPN . Week 8 bye is good timing I think 11-6 is about right

you can say that again

not this year Hardman's most favored status has never been inked in so now there's only Kelce, he's the only "known Commodity" and he's getting old so touches probably need to be less if possible

JMO but I think Gordon is highly sacrificial now with Ross looking like he just did in mini camp

Hard to imagine him not going to the Bucs again, maybe another "I'm not going to TC" thing? OR he's out pricing his value. He's 35 yo for gods sake, has played on 3, 1 year contract.. thats odd IMO. He supposedly has visited a couple of teams and left so who knows? I think he's a punk so I really don't want him
