It appears the Chiefs and Orlando Brown Jr. will reassess this situation in 2023. After Brown’s agent indicated the Pro Bowl left tackle will not reach a long-term agreement with the Chiefs by Friday’s 3pm CT deadline, more details on Kansas City’s offer have emerged.
The Chiefs are believed to have offered a market-topping deal, but Mike Garafolo of NFL.com notes the proposal contained a lofty final-year payment that inflated the average annual value to that place. A $40MM-plus salary existed in the 2027 season, lifting the contract’s value past Trent Williams‘ $23MM-per-year figure (Twitter link).
That strategy worked for the Dolphins with Tyreek Hill and the Raiders with Davante Adams, who have massive nonguaranteed salaries in the final years of their respective contracts to elevate the AAVs to market-changing levels. Brown’s camp sought more security.
The Chiefs’ offer contained $91MM over the first five years. While each year of contracts factors into AAV figures, the Brown offer averaged $18.2MM through five years — a mark that would have stood eighth among tackles. The dummy year interfered with Brown’s hopes here, Garafolo adds (on Twitter). Adam Schefter of ESPN.com notes the offer’s first five years included $95MM and adds the deal featured a $30.25MM signing bonus (Twitter link). The full offer was six years, $139MM, narrowly topping Williams’ six-year, $138.1MM contract.
Kansas City traded its 2021 first-round pick for Brown. Although that deal did include Baltimore’s second-round pick coming back — used to select Nick Bolton — Kansas City gave up a big haul to acquire the Pro Bowl blocker. The Chiefs will have Brown attached to the $16.7MM franchise tender — one he has not signed. The fifth-year tackle teased a holdout into the regular season, surely as an effort to convince the Chiefs to up their pre-deadline offer. Brown’s $16.7MM figure will be guaranteed when he signs the tender. A second Brown tag would cost the Chiefs almost $20MM in 2023.
Barring restructures for Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones, the Chiefs will soon have Brown’s tender and their top offensive and defensive players tied to top-five NFL cap figures. Mahomes’ will spike from $7.4MM in 2021 to $35.7MM this year. Jones’ will climb from $8.5MM in 2021 to $29.4MM. With Brown’s tag on the books alongside these cap numbers, it will represent a new-look Chiefs payroll.
I am all for anyone to maximize their earnings but Brown is overplaying his hand here. So much risk to absorb to turn down generational wealth.
Mutli-generational wealth!
That’s what the term means.
No. you’re a generation. Your children are second generation, grand children 3rd…..Go back to talking notes for the attorneys. Maybe you’re good at that. Certainly not good at comments here.
I laughed when that guy called you a stalker the other day!
Or you could just look up what the term generational wealth means instead of taking dumb potshots.
So Gen X is the same generation as the Greatest Generation? But keep living in your mom’s basement and only real skill set is to be a commentor in life!
Once again, Arty, you could just look up what the term generational wealth means instead of taking dumb potshots.
Enjoy the basement keyboard warrior!
Do you ever see me chime in your your threads with non-ending negative comments, no. But you just have to do that non-stop. Grow up boy.
You’re really committed to dimwitted trolling instead of taking ten seconds to learn what a term means.
You are commenting on my post. You have nothing interesting to say, which is why I don’t comment on yours. But I’m the troll? “Mommy help me!!!!” That’s you zit.
OK. Sorry I’m not more moved by insults from someone who doesn’t know anything at all about me, and sorry I have other things to do with my Friday evening than read repeats of them. But you could seriously look up generational wealth and learn one thing today. It involves multiple generations. Literally the point of the term.
Keep posting zit! Make sure to have your notepad and pen ready for Monday. But be quiet because you’re not important.

#1 is #1 though. I copied & pasted the comment.
Ask anyone from the Bengals, TB Lighting, or B Celtics if they liked being #2 from these post seasons.
They should pay the other Orlando Brown instead lol.
