I don’t know the specifics on his contract - is he on the last year of his rookie deal?? can they afford him? What type of $ is he expecting ?
In a salary cap vacuum I would love this deal. But depending on contract specifics I would probably pass and stick with 14. Move Ezra to LT and draft a couple of guards in rounds 1-4
Just my $.02
IMO teams can afford whoever they want. I don't know a thing about the CAP. I've seen teams so far over it looked like they could only keep about 40 players. Click of a finger they are fine and signing guys. The Saints seem to have been doing that since the CAP started. They always have a team and sign guys. They had Brees and two backup QB getting coin. It's hard enough keeping track of players without trying to become a CAP expert. The Cheifs gave a G the farm. I don't even know the number because they change also at a drop of the hat. I thought they had CAP issues. They can buy any player. Even with at least at one point the top paid QB. His number could be nothing now. I found this below.

Neither Brown nor his representatives wanted to identify the suitors, though sources indicate the camp has had ongoing conversations with six teams. Brown, who is slated to earn $3.384 million in the final year of his current contract, said a new contract with his next team would be part of the trade process.
All parties involved seem confident a deal will get done to send Brown elsewhere for his fourth NFL season.
"It's a situation where Baltimore knows my plan isn't to play right tackle," Brown said. "I feel more comfortable on the left side. That's where I had played my whole life (before joining the Ravens). I'm a better left tackle than right tackle."

He will cost more than what was proposed plus the CAP hit will be a least 20M and probably more. That's just a guess. He also seems a little big for our scheme also. He's 340+. That's a mountain.
