Kansas City Chiefs replace Orlando Brown with one of top tackles in free agency
It seems the Orlando Brown era with the Kansas City Chiefs is truly over after the team made a major move for another big-ticket offensive tackle in NFL free agency on Monday.
Following their Super Bowl LVII win in February, the focus for the Chiefs is now to try and maintain their championship level of play. Heading into the offseason, there was an assumption that one of the first moves the team would make was to slap a franchise tag on four-time Pro Bowler Orlando Brown.
Surprisingly, the team decided not to use their tag and allowed Brown to hit free agency. While some speculated the Kansas City Chiefs could re-sign him to a high-end long-term deal, that is definitely not going to be happening now.
On Monday afternoon, NFL Network reported that the Chiefs handed out a big-time contract to an offensive tackle this week, but it wasn’t to Brown. Instead, it was Jacksonville Jaguars veteran Jawaan Taylor.
