Reports continue to come in that the Kansas City Chiefs and LT Orlando Brown Jr. will not agree on a new contract extension ahead of Friday’s deadline.
The latest comes from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who reports that the Chiefs made an aggressive push to get Brown Jr. signed to a long-term deal. Schefter says the final offer from K.C. was a six-year deal worth $139 million with an average salary of $23.16 million per year and a $30.25 million signing bonus. The contract would pay $95 million in the first five years.
At face value, this sounds like a pretty good deal for both sides. The reason that Brown Jr.’s agent didn’t take it was that it did not offer the long-term security that he was looking for. Only the first two years of the deal were fully guaranteed according to reports from NFL media.
