I heard a rumor that Cleveland would be involved with a trade for Brown, so we would lose our promising young cheap G/T, and take on a 25 million a year guy? I liked the idea of Brown at LT for the next 5+ years, but at at that kind of money, why did they release Reiff?
Because Brown is better. And 7 years younger. Reiff has never been to a pro bowl. Brown has been in the league three years and been to two. Plus, right now he's playing on a rookie contract.

Browns just drafted a tackle in the first and gave a FA a big bag of money in FA last year. They aren't in on Brown.

I sincerely hope we don't draft Ben Cleveland.

but, is the team in the position to hand out a 20+ million a year to Brown, and likely a similar deal to ONeill? even with a new higher cap coming, will $45 million fit for only 2 OL, especially when the QB will be wanting about that by himself most likely.

Is anyone? 49ers paying Jimmy G a lot. Packers paying both Bakhtiari and Rodgers. Course Packers had to sacrifice Linsley so there's a give and take. We'll see how it shakes out. But I'd rather be playing near the cap edge than the game you play when you have $60M in cap space and are signing blue-hairs like Fitzmagic or Dalton because the QB you drafted, like Trubby or Haskins, turned out to be a bust.
Keep in mind that the Vikings have zero dollars devoted to QB in 2023. 2021 will have a lot to say about what happens there. Vikings could feasibly keep playing this 2 and 3-year extension game with Cousins, keeping his cap hits relatively low. But again, that really depends on how he plays in 2021 with what should be a better OL.
The NEW, highest paid Olineman, in NFL history, turns 33 years old July 19.
Not a deal I would want RS to do.

Eh. Jason Peters played effectively into his late 30s.

when Peters turned 34 he started missing games due to injury.

True. But, he hung on for a number of years and played at a high level. Definitely a risk.
