....which is why they'll eventually go to an 18 game season, and what the owners wanted all along.
Do we really care as long as he IS motivated and plays well, what his specific motivation is?
Some might consider the drive to provide for one’s family a greater motivation no?
I dont like it.
Any trade will require a new contract and he wants LT money .. possibly top 5 left tackle money.
Hes a really good young RT ... to pay him top 10 LT money would be a vast over payment.
My gut also questions his drive and determination. Just feel like his motivation to play football is to make as much money as possible .. not compete and be the best. Just gut feeling.
I thought Brown moved to LT for a bunch of games after Stanley got injured?His dad made millions in the league, his family should be well provided for.
I dont want to give up no. 19 for a RT who has never played LT who also wants to be paid handsomely.
Id rather draft a LT at 19 and have them under team control for 5 years at a very affordable cap hit.
Unless the Ravens come off their 1st round plus more demand ....

During Orlando Brown Jr.'s freshman year at DeMatha High School, his father, Orlando Brown, heard the coaches were lining his son up at left guard and right tackle. Neither of those positions was left tackle, and therefore, neither was acceptable.
"If he's not playing left tackle, put him on defense," is how Brown Jr. recalls his father's talk with the head coach. "There's no need for y'all to do him like that."
And so, Orlando Brown Jr., son of the 6-foot-7, 360-pound former NFL right tackle nicknamed "Zeus," began his high school career at defensive tackle.
That's how important it was to the elder Brown for his son to play the premier position on the offensive line -- the one reserved for the most-respected, highest-paid player in the group, and the position he never got to play.
"One of the things he always stressed to me as a kid growing up was, 'Be better than me. Put yourself in a better position. I was an undrafted free agent. Get drafted in the first round, shoot for the stars,' " recalled Brown Jr., the former Oklahoma left tackle whom the Ravens drafted in the third round in 2018, in a phone conversation this week. "He always told me, 'Don't settle for playing right tackle. Make sure that when it comes time and you get to every level, you're playing left.' "
I think he takes Mac Jones. He is a bigger version of Cousins.
It sounds more like Lance based on those quotes, and Lance is a better fit for his system.

If KS is going to Alabama and saying he doesn't have to worry about tipping his hand, and skipping NDSU, how does that point to Lance instead of Jones?
And as for who will be there, those in the top 10 will be well-represented. Jets GM Joe Douglas, assistant GM Rex Hogan and OC Mike LaFleur; 49ers assistant GM Adam Peters, college scouting director Ethan Waugh and QBs coach Rich Scangarello; Falcons GM Terry Fontenot, coach Arthur Smith and OC Dave Ragone; Eagles QBs coach Brian Johnson, Panthers GM Scott Fitterer, coach Matt Rhule, and director of player personnel Pat Stewart; and Broncos GM George Paton are all expected to be in attendance. The Patriots, who’ve been linked to Fields, are sending exec Eliot Wolf and their area scout.
