5 landing spots for Orlando Brown in 2022 NFL free agency

1. Kansas City Chiefs

Why ruin a good thing? The Kansas City Chiefs gave Brown the opportunity to flourish at his preferred position while protecting the blindside of the best quarterback in the NFL: Patrick Mahomes. Sure, the Chiefs failed to make the Super Bowl, but they’ll remain perennial contenders for the foreseeable future.

The Chiefs have already made it clear that re-signing Brown is a priority in the offseason, so the expectation should be that he’ll stay in Kansas City. It makes the most sense too. He’s grown to be an integral part of one of the best offensive lines in the league and is likely settled in the area.

That sort of public admiration for Brown can only help the Chiefs cause too. He knows that they want him to stick around. They’ve had him in the building for over a year and helped him develop into a good starting left tackle – and sticking with the Chiefs gives him as good of a chance as any to develop into one of the league’s premier blindside protectors.

Even if the Chiefs and Brown can’t figure out a long-term extension, they’ll retain the ability to franchise tag him for a year. They currently hold all of the cards, but it’s clear that Brown will have suitors, no matter what.
