And to an extent, I understand Brown's reluctance. The Chiefs apparently offered him a deal with too much term for the amount of guarantees they were offering. The Bengals offered him ballpark money (some say a little more, some say a little less) but didn't have him sign a 5 year deal to get it.
Brown simply wanted to be able to get back onto the FA market if he'd outplayed his deal. I get that.
That said, you're ignoring the fact that MOST of this headache came from Brown ****ing around and not hiring a goddamn agent until JUNE. And then because of the tag deadline, the Chiefs couldn't negotiate a long term deal with him for more than a week or two. And after he played out that tag season without meaningful progress (he didn't want to negotiate in-season) they were unwilling to be put through that bullshit he pulled the previous off-season again.
Some of it was money. Some of it was risk.
A LOT of it was Orlando Brown Jr being a weird ****ing guy. And in the end, he hasn't even played to the level of the deal he rejected so...what are we even yapping about at this point?

Thank you. Either people pay zero attention to this shit or they have memories like goldfish.
