Source - Kansas City Chiefs LT Orlando Brown Jr. to play under franchise tag after sides fail to reach deal
The Kansas City Chiefs and left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. failed do reach agreement on a long-term deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Chiefs' final offer was a six-year, $139 million deal with an average annual value of $23.16 million that included a $30.25 million signing bonus and $95 million in the first five years of the contract, according to a source familiar with deal.
Though the two sides did not come to an agreement, both parties hope for a new deal after this season, a source said.
The Chiefs placed the franchise tag on Brown, giving them until Friday at 4 p.m. to come to terms under a new deal before Brown plays this upcoming season under the tag. Brown will earn $16,662,000 this season, which represents the average of the top five salaries at his position.
A three-time Pro Bowler, Brown was acquired by the Chiefs prior to last season in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens that sent a total of five draft picks back to Baltimore.
