Report: Chiefs Reach Contract Agreement with 5th Round Pick Colin Brown
The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to terms with their fifth round pick Colin Brown according to a report by Adam Caplan of Scout.com.
| 2008 Pick | Date Signed | 2009 Chiefs pick |
| #3 | May 20th | ??? |
| #67 | July 21st | ??? |
| #102 | July 25th | ??? |
| #139 | July 9th | June 23rd |
| #175 | June 21st | ??? |
| #211 | June 26st | ??? |
| #237 | July 18th | ??? |
| #252 | Not signed | June 17th (Official: June 23rd) |
Per the report, it's a three year contract with a total value of $1.34 million and a signing bonus of $154,000 (The contract is actually worth $1.339 million but whose counting? Oh, yeah, we are).
We've learned Brown's base salaries, per year, are as follows: $310,000 (2009), $395,000 (2010), $480,000 (2011).
The player selected in Brown's draft spot last year received a 4 year, $1.903 million deal with a $198,000 signing bonus. When his contract is pro-rated, it's about right on with the annual percentage increase (Signing bonus goes from $49,500/year to $51,333/year).
Jason Phillips, selected two spots earlier by the Baltimore Ravens, also signed a three year deal worth $1.34 million and a $156,000 signing bonus. Only $2,000 difference in total value between the 137th and 139th picks.
Brown is an offensive tackle from the Missouri. He's projected to ultimately play on the right side but likely won't push Damion McIntosh in year one.
This makes two of the Chiefs eight draft picks that have reportedly agreed to terms.
So what do you think? It's similar to what I predicted last week but the big surprise is that it's a three year deal. I don't know what this means as far as what the Chiefs think of him (almost assuredly it means very little). Three years gives the Chiefs a quicker out if he doesn't work out but it also moves him one year closer to a free agency pay out if it does.

Wouldn't he be
a RFA under the no-cap era?
My crystal ball says that the Chiefs will not be drafting Aaron Curry. Their record at the end of 2009 will be 10-6. After witnessing the 2009 draft, their record will be 8-8.

right about to say that
I’d expect late round picks to be getting short contracts pretty often in the uncapped era because of this
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.

If there's not a new CBA by 2011
There won’t be football in 2012.

2012
Those damn Mayans know what they are talking about. If there is no football in 2012 it will seem like the end of the world to me. I can hardly make it through the offseason let alone a full year without it. God i hope they get the new CBA figured out in time.
Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.

Jason Smith, selected two spots earlier by the Baltimore Ravens, also signed a three year deal worth $1.34 million and a $156,000 signing bonus. Only $2,000 difference in total value between the 137th and 139th picks.
Jason Smith Was selected by the rams, The Ravens drafted Michael Oher

You are right
Meant to say Jason Phillips. I’m talking about the first pick of the 5th round (not #2 overall). Thanks.

Hah!
I called it. An o-lineman with a chance to play needs to get in quick.
