He deserves it. He was a top left tackle last year. His most recent play is worth way more than $10m, and he doesn't have much time left to earn that check.

Would it be worth it to give him top money if it caused the other top four to sit out until THEY got top money?
This stuff never ends, just like the negative slant storylines based on "REPORT..."
I'd like to see every Seahawk who wants a raise to clear it with KJ first.

I dont see anyone making it a crisis. They even noted he's not holding out.Jville":3kf1uyh7 said:
Not everyone is looking for an extension. If Brown is, it's probably because he plays a premier position, and turns 36 in August. Waiting to test free agency next offseason is unlikely his desired course of action.
It's mid-June and we're getting like three posts a day. I dont care if they if they mention things in their report that aren't orange level alert.
He's good, we need him and he probably deserves a bump in pay. Hopefully, it doesn't turn into something that creates tension.

The media loves to toy with its subjects. It might be only a matter of time before the media, in it's quest for generating a crisis and instilling tension, starts speculating on Duane Brown contemplating retirement. How does that play in a quest for more than 3 posts per day?

No, but somebody will make something out of it. The same article it says "After Russell threw his offensive line under the bus."
Never happened. All Russell said was "I'm tired of getting hit." I took it to mean that 10 years of being the most sacked QB in the NFL needs to be remedied, and it took RW going public to focus Pete's attention on it.
The constant play calls of going deep were impossible to defend against the #1 defense, and the Seahawks offensive plan showed just how bad it's been.
But there are tons of articles saying the OLine is going to be mad at Russell, etc etc. Not so. Those guys know what's going on. Dave Wyman kept going back to watching Duane Brown storm off the field because of 3 and out play callng. Duane doesn't need anyone to explain to him why RW was getting hit so much. And as the leader of the OLine, the rest of the guys follow suit.
I expect this story will blow up just like the "contract dispute" between Jamal Adams and the Seahawks, and reports that Jamal wants pass rusher money.
Per Brady Henderson, he expects negotiations to go just as they did with BWagz. Work on it during the summer, and finalize it a couple of weeks before the season starts.
I for one, am not worried.

They're just reporting what they know. I don't see any editorializing. If people want to read too much into it, that's on them.
Glad he wants to stay here. His age makes his situation a little unique. We've seen a few guys like Jason Peters and Andrew Whitworth continue to play well at that age, although it doesn't happen enough to call it typical. Glad I'm not the one in charge of that.

I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm worried, but Duane does have a decent amount of leverage.

The editorializing nudge is often introduced by the choice of words in a title. The second hand quotes in the article are lifted and credited to local reporter Curtis Crabtree. In my opinion, national rumor mills play with their subjects.

Duane Brown is no spring chicken, but it’s not like Carroll didn’t have the Forsythe (sounds like foresight, get it? its a joke…) to see this coming.
Brown’s, Seahawks, days will end soon, maybe not this upcoming season but soon.
He isn’t getting a new deal, sorry, Duane!

Since we're not really set at LT post-Brown, I suspect he'll get another deal, probably in the 2-3 year range that will give him a few more bucks and might even lower his cap hit this year. He's old, but he has a couple of more good seasons in him IMHO.

If DJ Humphries is the highest paid OT in the league, then Brown is grossly underpaid. He can run circles around DJ even at 36 years old.

There should not be any talk of a new deal.
Duane is paid handsomely this year. If he does stellar, then he'll be asked back for next year as a "prove-it" deal for cheap.
After all, this is what's going on with KJ Wright. If he plays, it'll be on that kind of deal.
Signing someone to a new extension at 37? There aren't very many offensive linemen left at 37.

OK, but still.
If there's a great '21, there will be opportunities for a '22. Maybe. But everyone knows we're going into a reset.
So, I don't see any point in Duane doing this. He'll get paid as it is, if he does stellar, maybe us or some team pays him. Or maybe he ends up like KJ.
Not enough upside to offer anything extra at this time, IMO.
