The Kansas City Chiefs apparently will keep their interior offensive line intact. According to Fox Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the team will place the franchise tag on right guard Trey Smith, a two-time Super Bowl champion and 2024 Pro Bowler.
However, ESPN's Ben Solak predicts that Kansas City will be able to retain Smith while also making NFL history. "The Chiefs will make Smith the highest-paid guard in football, beating out the four-year, $84 million deal the Eagles gave to Landon Dickerson last season with a five-year, $110 million deal of their own," Solak wrote.
