Kansas City is trading its first-round pick Thursday night, along with three other picks in the 2021 and 2022 drafts, to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for Pro Bowl OT Orlando Brown and one pick in the 2021 draft and another in 2022, per sources.

There is absolutely no reason to hand him an extension at this point in time.
He wanted to play Left Tackle and now, he's the starting Left Tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs.
He's under contract for two more seasons, so there's more than enough time for them to talk extension. [Reply]

I'd rather see him take two guys in the second but options are nice.
in my opinion, we've already won draft day.....but yes, the options and possibilities are fantastic [Reply]

Veach has proven he's not stupid. The extension will happen soon. [Reply]

Yep, it’s an absolute steal compared to the Tunsil trade [Reply]
Kansas City is prepared to franchise tag Orlando Brown, knowing he'll likely play out the final year of his rookie deal, per source. No way they give up this much capital for a one-and-done. Tag allows time for negotiation.
i'm surprised that any of you are surprised about this move. i told the same friend after alex smith was benched for kap that he would end up in KC, right when word came out he wanted to play LT he could very well end up a chief (after the fisher injury of course) :-) [Reply]

I'm not surprised by the move, as it was clearly the best one remaining, maybe even overall. I AM surprised that the Rat Birds traded him to us for hardly anything and we got an extra #2 THIS year. [Reply]
