Football Report: Orlando Brown requests trade from Ravens, wants to play LT - Page 9

Sofa King · 02-10-2021, 01:40 PM

Moving on from Fisher? Probably not.

Cap room for him? Not really, but moves could be made.

Draft capital for him? Maybe, but we're awfully low in the draft.

Tunsil trade (For record-keeping purposes, the trade saw the Dolphins acquire first-round picks in 2020 and 2021 and a second-round pick in 2021 along with offensive tackle Julién Davenport and defensive back Johnson Bademosi in exchange for Tunsil, wide receiver Kenny Stills, a 2020 fourth-round pick and a 2021 sixth-round selection.)

It only took the Ravens a little over a year to learn their selection of Orlando Brown was a wise one, but they've met a new challenge with the tackle that could be their last.

Brown has expressed his desire to be traded, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday. After spending the majority of 2020 on the left side in place of the injured Ronnie Stanley, Brown has found his comfort zone and does not want to return to the right side. He'll only play for a team that will line him up at his preferred left tackle position, per Rapoport.

Rapoport added the Ravens value Brown significantly and would need major compensation in order to do a deal.

Brown's background is on the left side, but he ended up in Baltimore as a right tackle after a poor pre-draft showing saw him slide from a first-round projection to an eventual third-round pick of the Ravens. He blossomed in 2019 and especially in 2020 after switching to the left side to replace Stanley, earning his second straight trip to the Pro Bowl -- and first as an initial selection. Thanks to Brown's quick adjustment to the left side of the line, Baltimore didn't lose much in offensive production following Stanley's injury, finishing as the league's No. 1 rushing offense for a second straight season.

Brown's success on the left side and desire to remain there might very well also be tied to the financial ramifications of the tackle position. As it currently stands, there is a $5 million per year difference between the league's highest-paid right tackle (Philadelphia's Lane Johnson) and left tackle (Green Bay's David Bakhtiari). Of the top 10 highest-paid tackles in the NFL (in terms of average salary per year), only two -- Johnson and Las Vegas' Trent Brown -- are right tackles.

Orlando Brown missed out on significant money typically afforded to first-round picks right around the moment when he racked the bar after just 14 bench-press reps during a nightmarish 2018 NFL Scouting Combine. He's made a little over $1.8 million in base salary total in his first three seasons, and though he will see a significant boost in 2021 (base salary of $3.38 million) due to the structure of his rookie deal, that's still an incredibly far cry from where tackles of his level land in compensation ranking.

After demonstrating his ability to effectively handle the transition from right to left tackle -- a return to his roots, essentially -- Brown is in a prime position to capitalize financially and beyond. He'll maximize his earning potential by remaining a left tackle, and he'll probably enjoy playing the game a bit more in a stance and vantage point that's more familiar to him, anyway.

If that doesn't fit in Baltimore, the Ravens will have to move him. And though this isn't exactly the best way to ensure maximum leverage in a deal, they'll probably still get a haul for him.

If neither happens....then nothing happens.

I’m down for that bet! A little friendly wager never hurt. The month ban if it happens will begin on the day it becomes official and announced by the Chiefs

See at least you can take it. That’s why I don’t hate you.

JakeF has been going around and downvoting all of my posts today because he’s a sensitive little bitch

he's a bad fit, and the property of a conference rival. No way they'd send a good player to us.

It's really not rocket science.

It's not happening. They are right

No, he was moved to right tackle because he got beat out by Ronnie Stanley.

He's not the best LT in the world but he's not terrible either.

No thanks.

Sign a solid stop-gap and draft a fattie to take over next year or the year after.

Sounds good but LT's are as rare as diamonds when drafting even if early. Better to poach a young up and comer. I still think its going to be a very under-the-radar guy with Veach. Someone we least and every expert expects but Veachey covets.

Come on

Yeah don't see it at all.

O.city · 03-24-2021, 08:33 AM

So would it likely take 31 to get him from baltimore?

More than that even.

I’d have to think so. I can’t imagine a playoff team trading away a talented player to fill the major need for the front runner in their conference.

The only way the Ravens make that trade is if they feel like they’re ripping us off. He’s good enough that it would take A LOT to make it that way.

Urc Burry · 03-24-2021, 09:23 AM

I would feel comfortable giving up 31, or 2 seconds. Anymore than that and it’s an overpay. I would highly doubt the ravens trade him to us for either of those offers

FloridaMan88 · 03-24-2021, 10:32 AM

It would be better to draft a LT at 31 or trade up than trade for a guy who played in a run-blocking dominated offense.

**BossChief** · 03-24-2021, 11:39 AM

He played LT for 2/3 of the year last season after Stanley went on IR and made the pro bowl the last 2 years. He said he feels more comfortable playing left tackle and scouts say he played well on the left, so that matches up.

I’d be happy if we send pick 31 and a conditional 2022 pick for OBJ2.

Gotta hit the evaluation on the head there, though...giving up 2 premium picks AND a big contract extension (that would be cheap the next 2 years because it’s an extension) would be a big risk that would need to pay off.

He's 24 years old and could instantly step in at LT and play tomorrow, let alone in September.

That's worth it to me. Or at least worth more than trading similar draft capital for a guy in the draft.
