Why the Chiefs are bringing back Trey Smith — and where it leaves them for free agency The Chiefs made a surprising move with the franchise tag. Here’s their explanation for it — and the reverberation from the decision.

Chiefs Officially Place Franchise Tag on Star OL The Kansas City Chiefs have placed the franchise tag on Trey Smith.

Assigned franchise tag The Chiefs assigned the non-exclusive franchise tag to Smith on Friday.

Impact Smith will be on the hook for $23.402 million in 2025 unless the two sides are able to come to terms on a long-term extension before July's deadline. By placing the franchise tag on Smith, it keeps him away from free agency and buys the Chiefs more time to try and work out a potential multi-year deal. Smith turns 26 years old in June and has missed just one start since entering the league. He was a member of the 2021 All-Rookie team and was selected to his first Pro Bowl this past season. Smith was slated to be one of the top free agents available, but he's now off the board.
