Kansas City Chiefs GM Brett Veach spoke a little bit about the current situation regarding LT Orlando Brown Jr. and the franchise tag.
After acquiring Brown in a trade with the Ravens last April, the Chiefs are looking to lock him in as their left tackle of the future. With the NFL’s franchise tag period now open and set to close on Tuesday, March 8, the team is fighting the clock to get a long-term deal done.
Speaking to the media at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday, Veach echoed our February 22 report. He explained that while the goal remains a long-term deal, but it’s likely that the team uses the franchise tag on Brown.
