The #Chiefs are planning to franchise tag star guard Trey Smith, sources say. An intriguing move, as KC keeps one of its best players for $23.4M on a 1-year, fully guaranteed deal.

Surprising considering how much they're paying Humphrey and Thuney. Most thought he was definitely leaving.

Absolutely did not see this coming. Their top 6 players take up an inordinate percentage of the cap. Unless this sets up a tag and trade. 

Shocking

As I mentioned a bit ago, I don't think this FA period is going to be that robust.

On the plus side, I kept insisting he was going to get OT money. I just didn’t think it was going to be via the franchise tag.

Tag and trade is possible I guess. The tag probably means they don't have Smith in their long term plans, but maybe want him for one more shot at a Lombardi. But man, 100% of that $23M hits their cap this year. Maybe Mahomes is restructuring.
