Football’s offseason is about to end. The Chiefs’ training camp opens this week at Missouri Western in St. Joseph, where players and coaches will gather to continue the building process of a team seeking to make it five straight trips to the AFC Championship Game ... and win another Super Bowl.

It’s quarterbacks and rookies only for the first few days. The rest of the squad is scheduled to begin on Wednesday. One of the early questions: When — or will — Orlando Brown Jr. show up? The team’s Pro Bowl left tackle didn’t agree to a long-term deal and will play under the franchise tag this season.

On today’s episode of The Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast, Star beat writer Jesse Newell and columnist Sam McDowell discuss the Brown situation and the Chiefs’ options if Brown doesn’t practice.
