The Orlando Brown situation might be heating up. The Ravens’ stud young tackle has requested a trade due to his desire to play left tackle (which he can’t do in Baltimore long-term thanks to the presence of Ronnie Stanley).
The Ravens have been listening on offers, and sources tell Mike Garafolo of NFL.com they’ve had “ongoing conversations” with six teams. Garafolo spoke to Brown for the story, and the Oklahoma product indicated his desire to man the left side stemmed from his late father’s wishes.
“He always told me, ‘Don’t settle for playing right tackle. Make sure that when it comes time and you get to every level, you’re playing left,” the younger Brown said. In his first public comments since the trade request, Brown also said that a new contract will be part of the trade process wherever he lands.
The 2018 third-round pick is currently set to enter the final year of his rookie deal. Brown filled in for Stanley on the left side last year and played well, cementing his belief that that’s where he belongs. John Harbaugh has made it sound publicly like he isn’t expecting Brown to get traded, but Garafolo’s latest report indicates the team is getting serious about trade talks. We should know a lot more soon.
Vikings please
it was confirmed Vikings have had discussions with Baltimore for Brown
Do you recall, was there any thought about the trade package for Brown? Even after the recent cuts I think the Vikings would have to do some serious cap maneuvering to be able to sign Brown after a trade
pure speculation on my part here, but i think barr would be part of the deal. rumor is he may be traded, and dealing barr would probably lower the pick package we send to baltimore probably to just a third or fourth
Yeah okay a 3rd or 4th HAHAHA that’s funny. We would keep him.
We who? They!
Depends on the structure of the deal… any signing bonus will be spread out over the course of the contract, yearly bonuses would hit the cap as they applied, and his base salary for 2021 is currently under $1M, so if that holds, the impact on their 2021 cap could be minimal.
“AMEN” The Vikings also need a new center BRADBURY is week!!
Seahawks, please….
Better check with Russell Wilson first to make sure that Brown is up to his standards
I’d take him with the chiefs. But don’t really wanna give up picks.
DC! Trade back with Balt in first 2 rounds. 19th-27th & 51-58th.
Seems realistic.
If the Chargers could somehow trade for Brown and sign Schwartz they’d have an incredibly successful off-season
I agree. I think something centered around mike Williams and a middle to late rounder for brown would work
Narrator: It wouldn’t.
Getting Mike Williams wouldn’t be a great deal cause he is in his final yr of his rookie contract.
And his base salary is $15.5 M, which doesn’t work for Baltimore cap wise.
Dude nobody wants mike Williams, stop trying to trade him for the moon it’s never gonna happen
I would hope the Bears are in but the GM is a complete fool

Need a Qb
Calvin Ridley for Brown. Move Jake to the RT spot and slide McGary to guard.
Atlanta isn’t giving up Ridley. That is Jones replacement for long term.
We will trade a pick for him since we do need some help on the O line.
Falcons could draft Jamar Chase at 4 and trade Ridley. They definitely need a lineman and there’s no one outside Sewell worth 4.
Why in the world would Atlanta trade Calvin Ridley?
Because he’s in the last year of his deal and you have 22m tied up in s receiver already. Russell Gage was really good last year too and the draft I’d deep with receivers. Nobody is critical of the Diggs deal anymore.
Julio Jones is on the downside of his career, so Ridley is going to assume the role of #1 receiver. Most of the money you speak of is tied up in Jones, not Ridley
For anyone proposing trades, know that Eric DeCosta prizes draft picks over all else and wants more early round picks in the 2021 draft. So a straight up player for player swap ain’t happening.
Correct look at Hurst last year.
He also has holes at wr so something like a young receiver and pick works imo.
Hurst his trade wasn’t a player swap we got a 2nd round draft pick in return
Bears so we can Draft another WE get a QB as a FA then Both tackles Leno and O.Brown compete best get LOT I like Cam at QB as are QB w/Foles
Half of that makes no sense especially the part about Newton. Did you see his stats for the worst Div in football lats year? He was awful even in Car the last few years or really most of them. Rivera had a QB need and never looked his way. Sign Newton and you have a few more years of QB suck. Bears football = QB Suck
You seriously want Cam Newton to QB the Bears? You must be a Viking, Lion or Packer fan
To the Colts to replace AC please
