Am I the only person who would rather have Montgomery back, than to pay for Barkley??

Lots hating on Brown etc on twitter, but with his run blocking prowess, you could move Braxton to RT, or get Brown and Jawaan Taylor if you want to get really crazy with the cap.
Everybody says move Jones to RT like it's a seamless transition.

Professionals have said that switch is like doing everything with your off hand after using your dominant hand your whole life. This isn't a video game where you can put a tackle on either.

I’d rather have neither. One can’t stay healthy and the other is just too slow

Every team in the league wants Braxton Jones right now... No ones pushing him to the right. Brown would be playing RT and he's already good at it, but no one is paying a RT 23m a year.

If Fields biggest flaw is taking what the defense gives him and accepting checkdowns, Barkley is the guy to help fill that gap. He doesn't have to carry the team either with Herbert and Fields both leading the NFL in YPC over 100 attempts. Split him out as a slot to run routes/screens/lead block.

Barkley graded out as PFF's best pass blocking back last season.

Jones run block grade was 11th in NFL at tackle. Brown was 32. Brown has just one season 3 years ago where his run blocking grade was in the 70s. Given he would be blocking on the move more with us, I dont know that his run blocking would be a plus for us.
