1 - it’s just one data point
And
2 - it’s reasonable of the Bears to stick with Jones because he’s performing and exponentially cheaper.
If only we played just one OT we'd be fine. This isn't an either / or conversation, it's a both conversation.

We have been very clearly talking about LT. So.

Brown will realize soon enough that no one is gonna sign him long term to play LT. So, he will either dig in and take a short term deal for a high price or he will sign a long term deal to play RT. I'm guessing he will end up being a RT

He fought to become a LT and payed like one. Don't think RT is in his future.

Lack of interest in him seems to say otherwise though.

Unless the Jets are just waiting to sign him after the Rodgers stuff happens.

Valid point. The Jets do need OL. But he just might wait until someone has an injury and needs him.
