I know Baltimore is allowing Brown to seek out a trade and I wonder what his actual asking price is. If we can get him for a first and a conditional third next year, that would be great IF we can ink him to a 5 year EXTENSION averaging 20m per.
That would end up being one of the best deals in the league in 2 years if everything works out and it would keep his cap hits absolutely minimal this year and next.

I don't see, based on our need, how we could pick someone at #31 that would instantaneously make our team better than Brown. Throwing in another pick next year based on his performance may get the deal done. We cleared the cap space for the potential Williams deal. They can do 5 years/20 per with a high guarantee.
He has some power here. He cant stop a trade but he must sign off on a new contract. Without a new contract, no one is giving up a #1 pick. Why wouldnt Brown want to come here? Does anyone think we are not going to win another SB in 5 years? He gets paid, gets the ring, gets to play with Mahomes..... best option I see left to help fix the OL.
