So, I think whether he is starting RT where he grades out as top 5 to 10 in league or a LT where he did well when Stanley went down, he deserves a ton more money from the Ravens or he should sit out or demand a trade.
But knowing Ravens, they will pay him and when they do, there goes their cap money for 2021 (or a lot of it and theme of this thread).

I know he made a tweet on Jan 29 that said "I'm a LEFT tackle," so I'm not sure it's about money.
He didn't quote anything, so I don't know enough context for why he posted that.

If it is more about money vs position, I am not sure the Ravens can afford to pay both him and Ronnie Stanley, or at least not unless they avoid other positions. 
Stanley's cap hit is $15.25 mill in 2021 and goes up about $2-3 mill each year after until ultimately $23.25 mill in 2025. He realistically couldn't be moved until 2024 due to the crazy amount of guaranteed money they owe him.

BAL only has $29 mill in cap space to work with for 2021, so they can't pay Brown a huge extension for this year. It could be a good boost (maybe $8 mill or so) and then go up in subsequent years though.
