Football Report: Orlando Brown requests trade from Ravens, wants to play LT - Page 58

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.

Look, the Ravens were never going to **** over Orlando Brown, jr.

His father, Orlando "Zeus" Brown was a very good left tackle for the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens, who died way too young back in 2011.

Zeus also spent years mentoring Ravens offensive lineman after his retirement, then the Ravens drafted his son a few years back.

That family has a legacy with the Ravens so there was no chance they were going to **** that up.

saphojunkie · 04-23-2021, 02:37 PM

I explicitly said they shouldn’t trade their first for Brown.

I was so ****ing wrong. Veach crushed this trade, I’m so happy. Getting TWO seconds in this draft is sexy AF.

Hey now!

Gravedigger · 04-23-2021, 05:02 PM

So no 1st and no fourth just 2 2s, how many compensatory picks, just 1? Then a 5th, two 6ths and a 7th? Is that right?

I STILL think that's the move. And if it's not, it speaks volumes on what they think of Niang.

I just can't fathom the Chiefs willingly sitting on their hands and just going, "hurpa derp, we'll just take the best OL that falls to us".

That's just not how they've ever operated.

You DA ****ING MAN! Detoxadramus

Half annoyed right now, the AP nerd squad are advocating for a trade back with one of the twos. WHY NOT GET TWO BETTER PLAYERS IN THE SECOND? Vs adding a 3 and a 5 maybe 4..

I'm not annoyed because Veach would only trade back if his guys aren't there... I trust Veach at this point.

Also, I like our Roster right now without the draft... would like to add a combo of either LB, Edge, and WR with the 2 twos to really be strong.
