Booch Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 I think Garbut is the better prospect for end.....so having both he and Haba is a nice luxury going into camp Piggy 1 and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are at the point now where we gotta be developing a starting DE for 2025 I would think. Edited January 23 by GCn20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown, a wanna be starter isn't going to get a $300K+ salary. Spot on, as usual. On 2023-11-30 at 7:48 PM, JCon said: I would say, a 2-year deal $300k & $400k. Includes a $125k & $125k signing/roster bonus. He has some leverage. Not too far off.

Booch Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I figued about 250k Yr one...with some playtime extra's as a possibility.....So good on him....he's put in the time and work, now lets see if it can be realized in a whole new situation....I think may be a shaky first yr tho....guess we will see Bigblue204 and Wanna-B-Fanboy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every QB has playtime bonuses built into their contract and no one subtracts those when we talk about how much the contract is. No different for Dru. He negotiated a 300k+ contract.

Bigblue204 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I'm honestly baffled people thought he'd get less than 300k. After the Edmonton game I remember saying he just wrote himself a big cheque!

They are paying a starters salary to a guy who has yet to become a starter. At $290K he's making more than Adams, the third best QB in the league last year & BLM ($225K hard money) & Masoli ($133K Hard Money) all vets with tons of experience, although BLM and Masoli also have huge injury issues & should have retired IMO. My guess on top QB contracts: Collaros, Harris, Fajardo, MBT, Maier, Brown. (One of these QB's is not like the others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Brown got paid but the RedBlacks are paying him on anticipated future performances & not on experience. And therein lies the problem with Ottawa. They've taken the starting position away from Dustin Crumb who had a year's experience & played like a warrior. There's no consistency with continually playing musical chairs with their qbs. How can anyone develop when they're being replaced? I expect the same **** from the RedBlacks this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 When does paying for anticipated future performance work out for young QB's with very few reps? Mike Reilly in 2013 is the only one I can remember. Before that??? Brown is more likely to Arbuckle than Reilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will not be among the highest paid, I’m not sure you have a guy who’s going to get 340 in the same list as Zach and Kelly (you actually forgot Kelly) who are making 600k. He’s pretty much making the bare minimum amount. ddanger and JCon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know he's gonna be the starter tho?...Crum is coming back ...same system...2nd yr in it, and if the coaching there gets better....he may outright win the starter spot And as It is now the QB on that roster with the most upside in my opinion is that Admas...so curious to see how he looks when he is healed up 26 minutes ago, SpeedFlex27 said: I agree.

He won't have the same grind it out running game with Oliveira although he has a thousand yard rusher in Devonte Williams. Brown has a couple of good receivers in Dominique Rhymes & Justin Harty. The rest of the cast is meh. He'll have a hard time throwing deep if he's on his back which is what I expect is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
