KANSAS CITY CHIEFS NEWS

Orlando Brown - Officially gets franchise tag The Chiefs placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Brown on Monday.

Impact Kansas City landed Brown via trade from Baltimore prior to last year's draft, and he proceeded to play every offensive snap for the former during the 2021 campaign, Week 17 aside. Overall, he gave up just four sacks in 715 snaps as a pass blocker, per James Palmer of NFL Network. The Chiefs and Brown's representatives will have until mid-July to negotiate a long-term contract, but if it doesn't come to pass he'll be due $16.6 million next season.

Orlando Brown - Getting KC's franchise tag The Chiefs plan to use their franchise tag on Brown prior to Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, league sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Impact Brown becomes the first known impending free agent to receive his team's franchise tag this offseason, with Kansas City set to make the transaction official at some point in the next 24 hours. After Brown spent his first three years with the Ravens while playing primarily at right tackle, Kansas City acquired him last April and installed him as its starter on the left side. He earned his third Pro Bowl nod and helped bring stability at a position that proved to be a major area of weakness in the Chiefs' blowout loss to the Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV the season prior, so Kansas City's willingness to keep the 25-year-old in the fold for 2022 on a deal worth approximately $16.5 million comes as little surprise. The one-year franchise tender could merely serve as a placeholder while the Chiefs look to work out a longer-term deal with Brown.

Tyreek Hill - Could land extension The Chiefs and Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, have reportedly exchanged contract proposals this week, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Impact With Hill -- who is slated to count $20.685 million against the salary cap in 2022 -- approaching the final season of a three-year extension he signed in 2019, the two sides seem amenable to crafting a deal to keep the wideout in Kansas City for the long term. Moreover, the report notes that an extension for Hill would likely feature a structure aimed at lowering his cap hit this year, which would help the team's ability to bolster an offensive nucleus that currently also includes franchise QB Patrick Mahomes and star TE Travis Kelce.
