I am guessing it will be closer to the $15.5M APY Nate Solder got with the Giants.My guess is around $12M-$13M APY.
However as a big body he might struggle with smaller but athletic and agile rushers.
I frankly wouldn't be surprised to learn it was (unofficially, of course) in fact part of the same agreement. IIRC, releasing Hoyer (versus including him in the trade) was already doing us a solid.Does anyone think San Fran could have gotten more for him but did the pats a solid for giving them JG for a 2nd?

He looked great on the DVR last night...but likely will be susceptible to quick edge rushers though....
How many teams do you think valued him as a starting left tackle? He wasn’t going to be that in SF, and the other team involved in rumors (Denver) is set there too. The Patriots got a good deal because they correctly predicted that a guy valued as a right tackle could actually play left tackle.Does anyone think San Fran could have gotten more for him but did the pats a solid for giving them JG for a 2nd?
If Brown plays like that for the rest of his Patriots tenure, given his age, I have no problem with a big money, long-term extension.I am guessing it will be closer to the $15.5M APY Nate Solder got with the Giants.
I've seen this meme repeated in multiple places. Where is it coming from? I watched the game and Solder in particular. He wasn't great, but he was ok. He routinely kept Ngakoue running behind the pocket. He did have trouble on 3 inside moves, including back-to-back plays to start the 4th quarter, getting flagged for holding on the final one.We should get a better idea on Sunday. Solder had a poor game against
the Jaguars.
He's kind of immature but,I think the Pats, especially Braby, could give him the acceptance he wants. Just a thought.Kraft liked what he saw
