2024 compensatory draft picks may dictate the Chiefs’ offseason

Many pundits expect the Kansas City Chiefs to be aggressive at the start of free agency next week after Monday’s surprising decision not to place a second franchise tag on left tackle Orlando Brown Jr.

With almost $18 million in cap space now available after Tuesday’s release of defensive end Frank Clark, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach likely has the means to pursue any free agent he chooses. However, the league’s formula to compensate teams with future draft picks for free agency losses may deter him from being too aggressive.
