I know ZT's predictable playcalling makes it harder on OL guys here, and Brown's numbers this year certainly took a hit when he played through that broken leg......but he still is not playing like an $18 mil dollar OT. In the next year or two, turning over LT is something we should start thinking about.
Simmons would be in the running for OT#1 in this draft if not for the injury. Us having the ability to take the top 1-2 LT in a draft may not happen again in the Burrow/Chase prime.
I think it would be crazy to cut Brown. Why would we cut any starter we could trade?
He also a good in protection and did so while playing on a broken leg in 2024.
We have bad players who are overpaid, Orlando is way down on any cut list. Cut:
Cappa
Moss
Hubbard
Stone
Rankins - only if we can definitely resign BJ Hill
Volson would be a solid backup based on his salary in 2025.

Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!
