With Friday as the deadline for NFL teams and players facing the franchise tag to agree on a new contract, a handful of players are now facing the prospects of playing the 2022 season under the franchise tag. One of those is Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Orlando Brown Jr.
As reported by Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Brown and the Chiefs were not able to come to an agreement, per Brown’s agent:
The #Chiefs and OT Orlando Brown did not come to an agreement on a long-term deal, per agent Michael Portner. As @MikeGarafolo said recently, the gap was too large. Brown now will play it out.
