"The Chiefs' final offer to Brown was a six-year, $139 million deal that included a $30.25 million signing bonus and $95 million in the first five years of the contract..."

This would have put him, on average salary, as the top tackle in football.
More than Trent Williams, David Bakhtiari and Ronnie Stanley.
Come on dude.

Come on dude.

He needs to fire his agent after turning that down.

There was some team friendly structuring here -- 95 million of it would be in the first five seasons - with 44 million in the final/6th season -- so there'd be a decent chance he wouldn't see that last season.

Regardless, on average, he would have been the highest paid tackle.

LOL! I say LOL after reading your post AND this.

“He wanted an agent who didn’t have prior relationships or friendships with any general managers,” Garafolo said in another tweet. “Portner will be negotiating his first NFL contract, and Brown looked at that as a positive.”

His experience has shown so far. It will be curious if he ends up losing from the initial offer or gaining.

He is loosing out on a 30 million dollar signing bonus THIS year.
Instead he will play for 16.7 million.

You have to look at value too. Mahomes is better out of the pocket anyway.

Brown's agent and his fear of flashy numbers.
It was incredibly daft to turn down the bonus and deal. The only more stupid thing would be holding out. He needs reps and is still learning. His agent is all about guarantees: I guarantee Brown will lose millions of dollars now.

"You have to look at value too. Mahomes is better out of the pocket anyway."

Spend spend spend on the offensive line.
Shed big contracts for skill positions ( sans Mahomes of course ).

Agreed. KC needs to spend big on OL
and DL.

Protect Mahomes and pressure the shit out of opposing QB’s

Kyler Murray extension: 5 years, 230 million.
46 mill a season, 2nd most in the NFL on average.
Mahomes is 4th.

I agree on protecting Mahomes, but the fact is the edge guys are great coming after him along with blitzers. I am not sure if players or schemes are most important protecting QB1. Guys who get open quick and gash the defense are pretty darn valuable, as are guys who don't let Burrows outrun them. There should be some cash available. . .

Arizona is going to regret this deal.

Russ, Herbert, Lamar, Burrow all have contracts coming up.
They'll top Murray in pay.
But still.

Just for fun, how many of those 4 will sign their new deal with different teams?

35% Lamar.
25% Russ.
1% Burrow and Herbert.

At this rate, I suspect that Tyreek will soon declare Tua the greatest QB in NFL history. Watching this guy try to think up things to say besides "$30 million per year is why".

Tua since being drafted in 2020:

66.2% comp pct
(t-19th among 37 qualified QBs)

More stupid.
Tua was also 24th in yards per pass thrown last season, meaning his 19th comp percentage is combined with easier passes.

Watson suspended 6 games with no fine. Kind of a joke is you ask me.

Also don't forget that Calvin Ridley was suspended for an entire season and lost $11M for gambling and Josh Gordon has been suspended for 20+ games due to weed.
