The Chiefs and veteran offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. have been in contract talks all offseason, but the sides could not come together on a long-term agreement.
It was unknown whether Brown would report to training camp without a long-term extension done, but the top offensive lineman for Patrick Mahomes has decided to play this season under the franchise tag and report to camp this week.
The news of Brown Jr. playing under the franchise tag this season was first reported by ESPN’s Robert Griffin III.
