The fact of the matter is the Chiefs just don’t have the money right now to tag Orlando again. It gives them zero flexibility in FA.
Why would you anchor your cap down for a player you know won’t accept what you’re offering?

Would you anchor your cap down for a player you know is intent on signing a deal, especially when his 1st year cap hit is HALF of what the tag would pay?
Again, you're just assuming that they have no chance to reach a deal. That's all it is - an assumption. Just like the assumption the Chiefs don't have the money to pay him. They clearly do, if that's what they want.
