The Kansas City Chiefs and franchise-tagged LT Orlando Brown Jr. have officially failed to come to an agreement on a long-term deal ahead of Friday’s deadline.
The two sides had until 3:00 p.m. CT on Friday, July 15 to agree upon a multi-year contract extension. Unfortunately, the team and Brown Jr. were unable to bridge the gap in extension talks. Kansas City did make an aggressive push to get him signed long-term, reportedly offering a six-year extension worth up to $139 million.
Failing to agree on an extension means that Brown Jr. and the team cannot negotiate a new contract until after the 2022 NFL season. He is now set to play on the franchise tag, where he’ll earn a fully-guaranteed $16.6 million.
