The Kansas City Chiefs have placed the franchise tag on right guard Trey Smith in hopes of signing him to a long-term extension, sources confirmed to The Star on Thursday afternoon. It was a change from previous expectations.
It looks as though former Tennessee Vol standout Trey Smith isn't going to test the market and get his big payday after all. At least not outside of Kansas City. The Chiefs are reportedly putting the franchise tag on their standout guard two weeks before the start of free agency.
