The full value of this deal is 5 years 33.5 million, but it’s essentially a one year, 8 million dollar prove it deal because only the first year is guaranteed (7 million signing bonus, 1 million base). But still, 8 million dollars a year for one of the worst starting offensive tackles in the league last year (61th on ProFootballFocus, allowing 10 sacks, 40 pressures, and committing 6 penalties). That’s a lot. I know they didn’t have a lot of other choices, but yikes! The Cardinals better hope Riley Reiff falls to them at 13, solidifies the left tackle spot, and Brown can resurrect his career at right tackle. However, even an elite right tackle isn’t worth 8 million. Eric Winston is one of the best and he got 22 million over 4 years.
