Evidence appears to show that neither the players nor the NFL or very concerned.
1 year 3 million. This is a training camp competition contract. Most talented OT on the roster if he can beat the odds and make it back healthy.
I don't understand the teeth gnashing and general disdain for agents among the fanbase. You HAVE to be able to work with all of them. Not signing clients of someone like Rosenhaus is just the dumbest of self-inflicted wounds
Yeah! He got his player a whole $3 million! How dare he?
The same thing basically was said about Stingley coming off his foot injury. I think most people are just hoping that similar results could happen with Trent Brown.
I think of Brown as an Okudah type signing. If he hits he will outplay the value of his contract. If he doesn’t, oh well you have players who should be able to perform the role in the room. Low risk high upside.
Very good comparison
Brown had a patella tendon rupture the 3rd week into last season. We're doing a great job of collecting Olinemen with significant serious injury history. I'm surprised we didn't keep Kenyon Green for our collection.
If my math is right, if we sign enough players that have ruptured their patella, and the return rate is ~58%, in theory, at least one out of every two will return to action?Brown had a patella tendon rupture the 3rd week into last season.

It also doesn’t make a ton of sense to hate specific ones. They’re all generally scumbags one way or another.
The return rate for patellar rupture is 55.4% (not 58%) [keep in mind that return to play was defined as returning to play in only at least 1 regular season game after injury.] And QT (quadriceps tendon) injuries resulted in a greater rate of return to prior performance level and a quicker return to performance compared with PT (patellar tendon) injuries.If my math is right, if we sign enough players that have ruptured their patella, and the return rate is ~58%, in theory, at least one out of every two will return to action?
Let me see if I heard you correctly:
It's hatred by association.
The Texans and player have to have the same information. In your opinion, why do they make this type of move? Is it strictly because it seems to be low risk money wise? Is Trent Brown the player delusional or just greedy or just believes he can be the outlier? I suppose he could be all three.
The perfect scenario would be for neither Trent Brown nor Cam Robinson to have to play a down.
Cool but that was prior to a severe patellar knee tear
So no other player with that type of injury never came back and played on a high level?
ACL was once a career ender also
The Texans had no money to obtain a decent Tunsil replacement. They have thrown several relatively cheap players against the wall hoping that one will stick at least a little bit.
A patellar tendon rupture is a totally different animal. The ACL is a relatively small knee ligament that is supported by several other ligaments. The patellar tendon is a large thick knee tendon that has virtually no backup support when ruptured and carries tremendous stress in its normal function (especially in a lineman's need for forceful push off against resistance).
Yeah, pretty much. Of course as time passes techniques and Technology improves and that I think is some of what we see with Stingley.
To voke or not to voke, that is the question! I keep telling you my friend to stop voking; and if you would stop voking, you wouldn't have to go back and redo anything. Also, I would stay completely away from anything dealing with sausage or you could turn out to be cannibal. Just a thought.
They paid Robinson 14 mil, I wouldn't say that's nothing. What they're hoping is that between both Robinson/Brown they will get a full season of avg to above avg LT play. I wouldn't bet against this since Robinson made it through the entire yr last season. If Robinson stays healthy and Brown can return to his previous level of play (Doubtful) then they will be the starting OT's. If Robinson was to get hurt then Brown would take over at LT. If Brown cant make it back then they lost a 3 mil gamble. Not a big deal IMHO.
RTP (and performance level) can only be determined by real game play...............not by medical staff physicals. If a player can walk and run, they are likely to pass the physical.
You don't think they give them an MRI? Seems like that would give the team a better look at it (and potentially a better contract for the player if it looks good.)
What is the increased chance of those 3 players being hurt again? 2 or 3 times more likely? Getting 6 games out of each gets a healthy season? You more likely get 8 to 9 games total.
I believe MRI would tell the doctors that there had been surgery but not how that would hold up during game play. No one knows.
The real details of his contract have yet to be announced. I doubt that Robinson earns $14 million this year. From what I'm hearing, the Texans will go into 2025 having to start pinching pennies.
An MRI in this case would tell you little more than the repair is intact or not..............something you could determine with a simple physical exam. For example, Kenyon Green had multiple MRIs of his knees and shoulder and they kept putting him out there to look and act like decoy.
