He had a rock solid season.   He proved the nay sayers wrong.   Brown is the RT for then five to seven years.

I think the OP was confused with what say you? or would you re-sign him?

 

Whither Spencer Brown, resign or re-sign?  Would make a good poll.

Am I wrong for being annoyed with the guys who only seem to figure it out in the final year of their rookie deal?  

 

I think it's also the first season where his back held up without lost time due to injury Virg.

The Bills organization has always been higher on Brown, and on Davis, than the fans were.  I think them Bills saw Brown's potential and let him play through growing pains (and actual pains with his back) and now he's the player they were expecting to see.  He's retainable if Beane jumps on the situation now. 

 

Most fans aren't sad about the prospect of Davis getting paid by somewhere else, but based on what the professional football team in town thinks, his loss will hurt.

He’s under contract for next year. He played ok. Make him play on final year of contract. Then let him walk for a comp pick. He’s never going to be a LT. They can find someone else to play RT in 2025 much cheaper.

I think that's a bad move.  There aren't a lot of really good RTs out there, and now that the Bills have developed one it makes better sense to put the ball in Brown's court about an extension.  Brown knows as well as we all do that he's got an injury history which will make him less marketable next year.  Beane should put a good solid offer on the table for a 4-5 year extension at a reasonable price, and let Brown try to decide whether to take the money and stay here long term, or to play out his rookie deal and hope for a bigger contract, risking not getting much at all if his back goes out or some other injury happens next year.  The offer Beane will put down will make Brown a very rich man, and he might decide to take the bird in the hand, sign the offer, and put this position on solid ground for years.

I like Brown.  I don't have any problem with is play. I think he was unfairly maligned by some, who maybe had unrealistic expectations for him as a starting NFL tackle. He was given baptism by fire as a rookie, and in '22, playing through an injury (bad ankle?) Young and still learning, his play was adequate in '23 and should continue to improve and be a fixture on the line for a good while. 

Agreed. Also the entire OL was aided by the scheme changes since Daboll left that have gotten the ball out of Allen’s hand more quickly.

If I’m following along, the basic point of this thread is to discuss whether the Bills should jump ahead and extend Brown’s contract BEFORE it’s up next season? Do they have any legitimate money available to do that? Seems to me this same discussion could apply to any number of players who’re in their pre-contract season….no?  Anybody have the list of the other players who’re in a similar situation? That’s ultimately the measuring stick.

We were ready to run him out on a rail, but then his name stopped getting called which is a good thing for an offensive lineman

 

Did we find our right tackle?

 

 

Barring injury or regression, hell yeah!!

 

He was still having a few problems early, but he got better and better and better.

 

Against DeMarcus Lawrence, you just about didn't see Lawrence all game. I really noticed that.

I think Van Demark has looked very promising every time he’s been on the field and for a cap strapped team he’ll soon be starting at one of the spots, but he’s a better LT than RT.

Brown is fine for the rest of his contract.  Draft a very raw, high ceiling guy in the 6th round this year.  Then lets see how it plays out when Brown's contract is up in 2025.

Not pay for Buffalo News so only can get it 2nd hand or by digging through cache.

Spencer Brown : Had offseason shoulder surgery

Brown revealed Wednesday that he underwent offseason shoulder surgery but will be ready for the start of training camp next week, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports. Brown didn't miss a game in 2023, playing all 1,161 offensive snaps during the regular season. It was the first time the 26-year-old made it through a fully healthy campaign, though it's obvious he was playing a bit banged up. Brown is locked in atop the depth chart at right tackle for Buffalo.

 I was always about preaching patience with him and felt he showed enough promise to see what he could do once healthy again.  And I feel like he did that last year and I would like to see him stay, although I would feel more comfortable seeing him put up another healthy and good season first to be safe.

He was a "project" draft pick, pushed into action a little too early, who looked like he'd really turned the corner and developed into a good RT last season.

But that's the problem with projects. They start really producing just as they start getting really expensive ....
