The Get Up crew is of the opinion that the injection of new talent will help the Chiefs this season. There is a time and a place for it.
Sources said that Brown will sign his franchise tender on Monday and report to camp on Monday.
After the sides failed to reach a long-term deal before the July 15 deadline, the blindside guard will be playing on the franchise tag.
According to a source familiar with the offer, the Chiefs' final offer was a six-year, $139 million deal that included a signing bonus and 95 million dollars in the first five years. Sources said that a lack of security with no guaranteed money derailed any agreement.
The average salary of the top five salaries at Brown's position is $16,662,000.
Brown didn't have to pay fines because he didn't sign his franchise tender. He didn't take part in the team's voluntary workouts or the mandatory mini camp.
Brown was expected to be the center of the rebuilt offensive line after the abysmal performance in the Super Bowl two years ago. The expectation has been that he would sign a long-term deal after the Baltimore Ravens received a package of four draft picks.
When Brown was selected to his third consecutive Pro Bowl, he helped to tutor a front five that included rookies in center Creed Humphrey and right guard.
