Despite one final attempt before Friday's deadline, the Kansas City Chiefs and star tackle Orlando Brown were unable to agree on a long-term deal, his agent told  Jamien Sherwood Jersey the . Players hit with the franchise tag earlier this offseason haduntil 4 p.m. ET on Friday to hammer out an extension with their respective club or play the upcoming year on the tag. Now, Brown can earn $16.7 million on the franchise tag for 2022 if he signs it before Week 1.This news comes after a recent report that cited Brown's mentor, Jammal Brown, as saying the two sides were nowhere close to reaching an extension. That report also added that the big man could skip all of training camp, if not the start of the 2022 season, in the event that a deal wasn't reached, so that could be the next shoe  Kevin Mawae Jersey to drop in this saga.In this latest negotiation, the that K.C. offered Brown a deal that would have given him the highest signing bonus and APY at his position on a six-year deal. However, Brown's camp decided that there wasn't enough security over the life of the deal, which is what led to its demise. , the six-year contract offer to Brown would have contained $139 million in total salary, a $30.25 million signing bonus, and $95 million in the first five years of the deal.

He's made three straight Pro Bowls since 2019, when he started at right tackle before taking over for the injured in Baltimore.
