If we have to change the offense and constantly give him help, is it worth paying starting LT money?
Even if he's good enough to get us back to being a top 5 offense, the same people screaming to pay Jackson will be furious if he's a disappointment in terms of what we pay and he's what keeps us from being the best offense in the NFL.

The question comes down to ... if you could build with Orlando Brown Jr. 3 years ago at $25M/year, what is it worth to build around a similar (and possibly less limited athletically) player?
I can see a scenario where the Chiefs decide it's worth the price, even if he isn't a made-in-the-lab fit for what they've traditionally done at LT.
