Earlier the week, the Chiefs declined to put the franchise tag on left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. This means that Brown is free to sign with another team after playing two years in KC. According to various reports, the Chicago Bears covet Brown after QB Justin Fields was sacked 55 times a year ago. The Bears are prepared to overpay for Brown if necessary which means it is now a near certainty he won’t be back in KC next season. Last season, Brown played under the tag on a $16.6 million dollar deal. He allowed just seven sacks in two seasons in Kansas City. RUMOR: The #Bears are prepared to outbid whoever they need too to land LT Orlando Brown Jr. even if it means overpaying, per source.Justin Fields was sacked 55 times this past season which was tied for most in the league. pic.twitter.com/VZGerc1UY4— NFL Notifications (@NFLNotify) March 10, 2023 Facebook Twitter/X Email Post navigation WATCH: Mahomes asked bizarre question ahead of 2017 NFL Combine WATCH: Tyreek Hill blows away competition at USATF Championships
