Schefter: Trent Brown 4 years $66 million with Oakland

[trueblue81]

Wow. Didn't see him getting that much. How have they done this deal already? Bought in to replace Solder and a year later he is going to earn more than Solder. Strange times we live in.

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

So we traded #95 last year for a comp pick next year in the 97-100 range (assuming we manage FA correctly) + get Ja'Whaun Bentley and a cheap year of Trent Brown (who helped result in a SB win).

Not bad.

All the talk about Edelman going to the Hall of Fame and everyone missed who's the third most deserving HOFer on this team after Brady and Belichick.

Let’s hope for the raiders sake the previous concerns about brown controlling his weight don’t come true.

Wasn’t he still 380 this season?

 

[JetFan79]

And it looks like they are spending it all on offense.. Look at the disparity in contracts re offense/defense . per overthecap.com , it's $100m/32M.

Gotta sell tickets. The kids love offense.

Playing LT for the Patriots should be the most sought after job in the NFL. 2 years in a row the Pats LT becomes the highest paid OL in NFL history.

Trent Brown needs to give Dante a significant present.

There were rumors SF traded him her because he gained a ton of weight recovering from an injury. 380 was after he got in shape.
If putting in the effort to keep his weight in line is in fact an issue for him 39 mill guatanteed could lead to a problem.

And Donald Penn gets cut I’m presuming..?

Presumably. But a 35 year old in the final year of his contract. Maybe they’ll let him ride the bench as a backup.

The Ted Washington diet I see

Another case of illegal tampering before the legal tampering period. How do they already have the contract done so fast.

The "legal tampering" period is such a farce. Just call it what it is...FA BEGINS MARCH 11th.

Well brown did say it would be a quick decision

Good defensive players to be had in round 1 this year

When Tom is inducted into the HOF, Solder and Brown should be in the front row giving him a continuous standing ovation.

The whole two day tampering period is so dumb.

It's a good time to be a LT for the Pats, first Solder then Brown....glad for Brown though, he played pretty well for us, especially in the playoffs.

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

Good for him, worked out perfectly for both the Pats and him in the end.

I'm also all about the Raiders improving and making that AFC West (aka the only division I see our #1 seed competition coming from) as tough as possible.

 

[manxman2601]

Hope so

Thank you for your contributions to number 6, Trent! Good for you for cashing in. Guys his size have the most trouble physically after leaving the game. Get your money and set yourself up for a good life.
