After the Kansas City Chiefs failed to reach a deal with their franchise-tagged left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. before the July 15 deadline, Brown has decided — at least for the moment — not to sign his franchise contract tender.
Without that signature, he’s not under contract with the team. Therefore, he is not required to attend training camp practices that are now underway at Missouri Western State College in St. Joseph, Missouri.
Suggestions have been made that because of his actions, the team might have soured on Brown — and could therefore be considering trading him to another team or even withdrawing his franchise tender.
