If the rookies on of the offensive line pan out and Orlando Brown Jr. signs a massive contract extension, the future of the Chiefs offensive line will fall into place.

With the 2021 NFL offseason dwindling down and the draft in the rearview mirror, it is not too late to peer into the next offseason and speculate on how the future of the NFL will look.
The salary cap will almost certainly be a hot topic yet for a couple of interesting reasons.
With the roster as it currently stands, the Chiefs will have around $20 million of salary cap space for the post-2021 offseason if the cap comes in around $200 million. The Chiefs will only have 30 players under contract, meaning they will be mandated to add more than 20 contracts to their roster which will eat up most of that salary cap room. It is not an impossible situation to be in, but it will put pressure on an offseason where the salary cap does not balloon as it was previously expected to with new TV deals.

The Kansas City Chiefs added a proven tackle when they traded for Orlando Brown Jr. That much is certain. The 24-year-old has proven over the last three years that he belongs in the NFL. Last year, he proved he belongs at left tackle. For a team with a gaping hole at left tackle and a pick at the end of the first round, it is completely understandable why the Chiefs would trade for a player of Brown s caliber.
It is also a gamble. Not just a gamble on Brown and his fit on the Chiefs offense, but a gamble on the Chiefs scouting department and on the salary cap.

Dependable, starting offensive lineman rarely hit free agency for the simple fact that great offensive lineman are hard to come by in the NFL. When teams pick a great offensive lineman in the draft, they usually hold on tight and don t let them leave the building. Brandon Scherff, a player who was going to be discussed in this breakdown, is a good example of this as the Washington Football Team tagged him for a second time Monday night.
