It won’t be déjà vu for the Chiefs and starting left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. for a second straight offseason.
The Chiefs are not applying the franchise tag on Brown ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, the NFL Network reports.
The decision comes less than a week after Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said at the NFL Scouting Combine that using the tag remained “an option” on Brown, who played the 2022 regular season under a $16.6 million franchise tag.
