I think the contract was a steal for the Bengals (hopefully).

Whatever the case we all agree if he had a better injury history he’d be paid like a guaranteed starter…….

Over Half of the starting right tackles in the nfl are below $5 AAV. You don’t pay backup “swing tackles” $5m AAV. Trent brown is our starting RT who can move to Left if orlando gets hurt and then Mims takes over at right. Trent has the ability to play both sides, which is tremendous flexibility.

I’m not sure where the confusion is but at $4,7500,000 the bengals are paying Trent brown like a guaranteed starter (pending health). This is relative to the rest of the league.
